"For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God" --1John 5:4-5
What is the Overcoming Life?
We need to define what John meant when he spoke of the 'world' and what he meant by 'overcome'.
1. The 'World' --There are two kingdoms, the kingdom of God, and the kingdom of darkness. Both kingdoms are actively influencing the present culture. The world is the part of culture that is being influenced by the kingdom of darkness. This culture, the 'world', opposes the rule of God in the culture as well as in individual lives.
