I enjoy rooting for my favorite sports teams to win. We all enjoy sharing in victories. As believers in Jesus Christ, we share in His victory. 1 John 5:4 says,
“Everyone born of God overcomes the world, this is the victory that has overcome the world.”
This is a great promise. As we look at this crazy world we live in…we need assurance. The book of Revelation emphasizes assurance, gives us hope and tells us God will be victorious. It is nice to know that through God everything is going to work out all right. National Football League Hall-of-Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, was once asked by a reporter why he attended a small university over a big one. Rice responded that all the big schools sent letters, whereas the small school was the only one who came to his house and made a personal visit. Life is personal. We need personal reassurance…we need personal hope…and we need personal victory. God wants us to overcome the world and have victory in our lives. Turn to Him and trust Him in all challenges of life.
