HE IS GREATER
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.
Encouraging Words
So, what is it that we have overcome? The verses before this speak of the forces or spirits that are at work in this to draw us away from God and His grace and mercy. Notice that the verb used here is that we have already overcome them, that they no longer have any power or control over us. How have we done this? We have not on our own, but our Lord, by His indwelling within us gives us His power to overcome the spirits of this world. Through Him, we can live godly and pure lives because He is greater than he who is in this world. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
