The Apostle John had much to say about overcoming, both in the Books of John and I John. In John 16:33 we hear Jesus telling His disciples, “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” In other words, Jesus is giving them hope, but also realism…peace but also warning them to prepare to endure in the face of troubles. Later in I John 2:13 & 5:4 he writes more about overcoming the world and the evil one…that our overcoming victory is possible by resisting temptation and keeping faithful to God’s Word…for the battle is already won by our union with God in Christ…and it cannot be broken.
