How do you overcome the world?
- You cannot save the world.
- You cannot change the world.
- You cannot overcome the world.
It’s easy to have faith in God and worship Him in the safety of a church, surrounded by other Jesus followers. We are called to be more than warriors – to go out into a world that is hostile towards God, to show it the same love that Jesus taught us, to lay down our lives in an obedient act of love for a world that hates us because it hates Jesus our King.
How do we overcome the world? We don’t - Jesus did that for us.
- We worship God.
- We lay down our lives as a living sacrifice.
- We let Jesus love the world through us.
We allow Jesus to love the world through us when we offer ourselves as living sacrifices to worship our Holy God.
Challenge:
- Memorize John 16:33
- Find a way to worship God in public, outside the walls of the church.
About this Plan
We have three enemies, the world, the flesh, and the deceiver. In the book of Joshua, Jericho represents the world. God trained Israel in the wilderness, baptized them in the Jordan, and circumcised them as they camped before the locked gates of Jericho. How would they overcome Jericho? How do we overcome the world? This in-depth stand-alone plan is also part 5 of a 10-part series.
