Today’s Reading: 1 John 5:1-13
1 John 5:4 — For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
God promises spiritual victory! John says that our faith overcomes the world, which is the system of thought and behavior generated by the sinful heart of man in cooperation with the demonic atmosphere.
The world system is the enemy of God, and it permeates government, economics, religion, and culture. But simple faith in Jesus Christ defeats this sophisticated system of darkness.
When we are born again by grace through faith in Jesus—who He is, what He has said, and what He has done—we are given a new heart, a new spirit, and a new sinless nature that are Christ’s.
Jesus Christ broke the power of sin and death at the cross and crushed the head of the old serpent, Satan. Our faith in Jesus and our reception of grace for daily life enables us to live victoriously in this world while we are spiritually seated above in heavenly places in Christ.
Our faith sets us free from the vanity of the world and the spiritual death and blindness it produces. In Christ, we walk by the way of faith with the world under our feet, our eyes open to the truth, experiencing the eternal life of our relationship with God.
Lord, we come to You by faith today, relying on Your grace to help us follow Jesus, the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.

Devotional
“When we are born again by grace through faith in Jesus—who He is, what He has said, and what He has done—we are given a new heart, a new spirit, and a new sinless nature that are Christ’s.”
Then after how do we grow up every day?
This is another question.
I should meditate daily devotional. If I skip it whatever reason, I am doing some stupid things. If I stop to read an year bible reading, I make a decision with my flesh not by word of God. Very easy,automatically my attention is on the worldly stuff.
“May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.”
Psalms 25:21 NLT
