1 John 5:1 - 5 (NKJV)
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves Him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
John 14:15 & 16 (NKJV)
"If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever."
John 16:33 (NKJV)
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace, in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
Abba Father in You we are overcomers, the world may through evil our way, but it is defeated by the words of Jesus, in Your strength victory is assured as we obediently serve in Your kingdom; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
