We want to continue this week in our study regarding the new birth. Who is he that overcometh the world. Notice carefully that victory is accomplished through Christ-not self.
Multitudes strive to overcome sin and temptation, but the flesh has no power to win the battle.
He promotes the desire for victory and provides the strength. Paul knew this well. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
