📖 For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?
—I John 5:4-5 AMPC
Once you have made Jesus the Lord of your life, you are given a measure of the God kind of faith (Romans 12: 3). God expects us to take the faith that has been given to us and overcome (conquer) the world with it. While Jesus was on the earth, he was a conqueror. He overcame every obstacle, every storm, and every hindrance that the devil would put in His path. Jesus was and is our example. He expects us to win the same way He did. If God tells us to conquer, then we can do it. If He tells us to overcome, we can do it. If faith will conquer the world, then we must grow and develop it. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). As we hear the Word and do the Word, our faith will grow, and it will develop. It will eventually get us to a place where we will experience victory in every area of our lives.
