In our life time, it is promised that we will live and have tribulations. But being born again, we will overcome the world. Being “born again” may be a troublesome phrase, because as Nicodemus asked, “How can we be born of our mother's womb twice?” But this phrase actually means that we will be born from above in the context of our lives reflecting a new spirit. We will be new creatures, ready to learn and follow the ways of God. It is our faith that causes us to believe in the sacrifice of Jesus and its symbolism toward our salvation. This ensures a future life of victory over the Adversary, because Christ on our side (1 John 5:4).
With Jesus on our side we have access to not only power to overcome, but also an ambassador of sorts that understands what we have gone through. He speaks to us and confirms that we can have peace and be of good cheer. The Bible tells us that we, as “those who live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:12-13) With Christ, we have found our lifeline with which to get out of an endless spiral that is deceiving and being deceived. In other words, we have Truth in a world full of Deception. Light in Darkness. Victory amidst Defeat. Paul writes the following in Romans 8:37-39,
- Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
With Christ we are Victorious, now and forever. Against any foe we will be victorious, and can have peace and praise during the process, because we know the truth. And that truth is that God’s love sent Jesus and bought our redemption. And with this redemption and God on our side, we are stronger than any opposition thrown in our way. We are VICTORIOUS!!!
