Bible Verse
“For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith”.- 1 John 5:4 (NIV)
Meaning
This verse emphasizes the victory that our faith in Christ brings to us. It tells us that being born of God makes us overcomers. We are born physically into a fallen world, but are spiritually reborn into God’s family. This rebirth brings with it not just a new life, but a victorious one, a life that can overcome the world.
The phrase “the world” is usually used in the Bible to refer to the world system or the sphere of human existence that stubbornly opposes God and His kingdom. This includes sin, spiritual bondage, and worldliness. But according to this verse, our faith provides us the ongoing victory over these elements.
John wants us to understand that it is not by our own strength that we achieve this victory, but through our faith in Jesus Christ. This means continual trust, reliance, and clinging to Him. And as we grow in our faith, we discover new capacities to overcome various afflictions and adversities that come our way.
