Greater is He that is in you

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. - 1 John 4v4

A few verses ago we read that God was greater than our own hearts – He knows stuff about us that even we don’t know. He knows all things. That truth can be a bit convicting and conviction is always helpful.

But God’s greatness is not only seen in conviction, it is also seen in comfort. There are plenty of false teachings and false teachings out there. The world hears them and listens to them. Their forces seem to be getting stronger and stronger all the time. Their tide seems irreversible. It seems like we have no hope against them. It looks like they are winning.

The truth however is that we have already overcome them. They have no power over us. We don’t have to quit, surrender, give up, abdicate, resign, roll over, play dead, or stop trying. The Overcomer dwells in us and He is greater than all of the opposition!.
We have already won! Its time for us to start acting like it
