Are you an overcomer? John 16:33 says “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
To be an overcomer means that you have overcome something. You have been in a battle or at a disadvantage, yet you have found a way to overcome. The apostle John taught about how God in Christ causes us to overcome. In Him, we are overcomers!
1 John 2:14 – I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.
1 John 4:4 – You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
1 John 5:4 – For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
1 John 5:5 – Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
The Lord Jesus made it possible for us to overcome. So once again I ask, are you an overcomer?
