“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

1 John 4:4

 

He reigns victorious!  He defeated death! (1 Corinthians 15:55)

We have moved from the kingdom of darkness, into the Kingdom of Light. Our filthy covering of sin has been replaced with a robe of righteousness. Amen!  

An important message you might want to hang onto that supports that prolific verse is…”Although we live in the world, we must be careful not to allow the world to live in us!” 

Jesus’ great loving sacrifice is truly beyond the scope of our mortal mind and understanding. To fully comprehend the reality of what Jesus did for us at the cross, and His resurrection, eventually leaving us with the “Comforter” His Holy Spirit, simply defies the bounds in which our minds can grasp.  But the message from His heart is abundantly clear,  “He loves us with a fiery intensity that supersedes all else.”

Today take the time to thank Him from your heart and realize that although the world is filled with evil, debauchery and violence, we are children of the Light, and we do not walk in darkness.

We are children of the LORD and inasmuch, we corroborate daily with a cohesive narrative that supports His doctrine.  The world will not swallow us, instead we will walk in the Spirit and take delight in knowing He is with us, no evil or plagues will come near us. (Psalm 91)

The world is a place we live in, albeit temporarily, it is not our permanent home.  The reward of His Kingdom is the final destination and purpose of what we do today, as it will be what we ultimately reap tomorrow.

So go about your business today and always.

And remember, “Live in the world, don’t let the world live in you.”

 

“Father God, thank You for Your love at the cross, the sacrifice you endured for me, and for Your resurrection that set us free, You that live in me, is far bigger and better than anything that lives in this world, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

 

Hosea 13:14
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
