Greater Is He In
Us!
"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."
1 John 4: 4
All parents want their children to learn that inner
strength
can overcome life’s external obstacles. With perseverance,
determination, faith, and patience, life’s challenges can
be
overcome.
It's a truism rather than an absolute truth:
What is on the inside is more powerful
than what is on the outside.
But when it comes to spiritual challenges, we have an
absolute
truth at work: God in us is greater than Satan who is in the world.
We have read the final chapter; we are on the winning side in
all
things.
Apostle John tells something that sometimes surprises Christians
when they read: “The whole world lies under the sway of the
wicked
one” (1 John 5:19)—Satan influences and has measure of power over
the world. But John also tells us, “God who is in you is greater
than
Satan who is in the world” (1 John 4:
4).
Never forget:
Our God is greater than the one who
pretends to be the ruler of this world.
"What greater encouragement can a man have to fight
against his enemy, than when he is sure of the victory
before he fights, of final victory!"
Richard Sibbes
