In 1st John, through the blood of Jesus Christ, we are overcomers. We arose a new man in Christ. We arose as an overcomer. Through Christ’s victory, I too overcome, after being put into Christ – I moved from being a sinner to being an overcomer. I have been purchased by the blood of Jesus. God wants us to overrule difficult situations, and not have them overrule us. God wants us to experience what it means to be an everyday overcomer.
