Greater is He who is in you

"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" 1 John 4:4.

Christians are called to fight and they have all necessary tools to  win. What are our enemies? According to the Bible, we are fighting the world: lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. And we also fight the devil. Looks like we've got a lot to fight against. Well, maybe, but look what John says. He says that we are from God, which means we have the nature of God inside of us. The things of the world should be alien to us. Yes, we have a flesh, but the nature that God imparted into us is stronger.

Furthermore, by the power of the Holy Spirit Christ lives inside of us. He is greater than the world, and the devil. That's why we are destined to win. Christ conquered the world, and we have the same promise, we can conquer it. Let's rely on His power that is inside us to help us in the fight. We shouldn't fear neither the world, nor the devil as they are weaker forces than the one that we have at our disposal. Let's believe we can win. Let's rely on the power of Christ on us. Let's us the power. Let's win. 

I can do all things through Christ

Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

What a bold statement! But if Christ is omnipotent God, why not? And if He is for you and not against you? Well, than you can do all things through Christ too. Do not concentrate on your limitations then. Concentrate on his strength, because that is what makes you strong and enables you to do all things. It’s all in Christ. We are not talking about your human power here. We are talking about God’s power who works for your benefit. Let us abide in Christ and enjoy his power changing our lives and solving our problems.
