Victory That Overcomes the World by Gloria Copeland People everywhere like to win. It doesn’t matter who we are, where we’re from or what our background is, we all like to be on the victory side of whatever is going on. If we’re sports fans, we get so excited when our favorite team wins a big game, you’d think that win was really going to do us some good. You’d think it was going to put money in our bank accounts, heal our bodies or fix major problems in our lives. But the next day when we wake up, everything will be pretty much the same. The thrill of that win will be gone, and we’ll have forgotten all about it, because that kind of victory doesn’t have any lasting impact. It doesn’t really change our lives. There is, however, a kind of victory that does. It’s the victory in God that belongs to us, as believers. First John 5:4 calls it “the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” and it will do for us everything we need. It’s real, its impact is lasting, and we all ought to be extremely excited about it! Our team winning the Super Bowl doesn’t amount to a hill of beans compared to what world-overcoming faith can do for us. It actually will heal our bodies, put money in our bank accounts, and fix major and minor problems in our lives. It won’t just make us happy temporarily, it will give us reason to rejoice all the time. When we’re living by faith, we don’t have to wait around for a bunch of super talented athletes to get out on the field and win victories for us. We can win them ourselves because, unlike Super Bowl-type victories, the victory that overcomes the world is available to everyone. All you have to do to qualify for it is to believe in Jesus, and make Him the Lord over your life. BVOV : 27
