Some troubles God uses to help us grow and develop endurance. However, there are obstacles in our lives we need to overcome…not just endure. Be sure that the message of Mandisa’s song Overcomer is one that you can truly proclaim. In 1 John 5, John asks who can overcome the world. I want to sing along with Mandisa on your behalf…”you’re an OVERCOMER!”
What the Scripture says about overcoming is the topic of this episode of More Than a Song.
In this episode, I discuss:
- I John 5:5
- The author of I John
- The Greek word for “world”
- Obstacles and temptations that incentivize us to sin and how we overcome them
- How we show God contempt
- How to be sure we are a believer in Jesus Christ to know we can claim the promise that we are overcomers
