more from John - Day 15 of 20

Read 1 John 5:1-5.

“For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” (1 John 5:4 ESV)

You may not always feel like an overcomer as you traverse the many obstacles, burdens, hardships of this world. But it is who you are in Christ. We need that reminder as to who we truly are.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

If “YES”, then “Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:5 ESV)

If “YES”, then your faith is your victory in overcoming the world. And a reminding truth about your faith...“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8 ESV)

How may the reminder of this victory, God's victory in our lives, impact how you face this day? Who in your life would also be blessed by this reminder?


From Christian artist Mandisa's song “Overcomer”:

“You're an overcomer

Stay in the fight ‘til the final round

You're not going under

‘Cause God is holding you right now

You might be down for a moment

Feeling like it's hopeless

That's when He reminds You

That you're an overcomer

You're an overcomer”
