I John 4:4 - "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."
The new birth is the most remarkable event that any of us can experience. It is secured for every man, woman, and child. However, few will receive God's great gift because of the enemy's great deception. Satan overcomes the majority of the human race, not through overt evil, but through his lie that they are good enough for both heaven and earth. Therefore, they are in agreement only with their own soul and the evil one, rather than what the Lord says about them.
Only those who have accepted Jesus' great gift have the opportunity to live as a true overcomer. We may conquer alcoholism, drug addiction, anger, jealously, or any number of other sins of the flesh. However, until we accept God's gift of salvation we will never know victory that will last through eternity.
We are either from God or from the devil, beloved. If we have not surrendered to Jesus, then we have surrendered to the evil one. May we all look to Jesus today ... there is no lasting victory without Him.
