“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1John 5:4
We have an awesome victory in Jesus Christ. The presence of the Holy Spirit of God who dwells in human beings that have been born again. This works through the faith that is planted as a seed in our innermost being.
The Apostle John wrote concerning the basis of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus Christ came in the flesh and laid down His life as a substitute for us for forgiveness of sin. We will realize the completion of His work in us at His coming:
“When he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2
Just knowing this Biblical truth is a foundation that strengthens our faith and gives us hope as we serve the Lord. There are other precious promises:
