About This Bible Study on Victorious Living

Victorious Living
Did Jesus talk about living victoriously?

Jesus reminded His disciples that, even though they would have tough times in this life, He had overcome the world.
In doing so, Jesus was implying that the same power to overcome would be available to His disciples.

Christians have the power to overcome evil.
1 John 4:1-4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (2) By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, (3) and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. (4) 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.
Christians have the power to overcome evil spirits who seek to deceive.

I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
