Whosoever is born of God
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
To be "born of God" is to experience a spiritual rebirth, a regeneration of our hearts and souls. This is not a mere physical birth, but a spiritual transformation that occurs when we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour and allow the Holy Spirit to work within us.
It is through this rebirth that we become part of God's family, His children, and heirs to His promises.
John tells us that when we are born of God, we gain the ability to overcome the world. This doesn't mean that we will be exempt from difficulties, trials, or tribulations. Instead, it means that our perspective changes.
Our priorities shift from worldly pursuits to eternal truths. Our desires align with God's will, and our faith becomes the anchor that sustains us through life's storms.
The victory that overcomes the world is our faith. This faith is not mere intellectual belief; it is a deep, unshakable trust in God's goodness, grace, and sovereignty.
It empowers us to rise above the doubts and fears that the world presents. Through faith, we can conquer sin, overcome adversity, and walk in the paths of righteousness.
So, how can we grow in this victorious faith? We must nurture our relationship with God through prayer, studying His Word, and fellowship with fellow believers.
We must continually seek His guidance and allow His Spirit to transform our hearts, renew our minds, and align our will with His.
In conclusion, being born of God is a divine privilege that grants us victory over the world through our unwavering faith. As we journey through life, let us lean on this faith, drawing strength from God's promises, and rejoicing in the assurance that we are His children, equipped to overcome all challenges.
God bless you.
