Greater is He - 1 John 4:4
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 Confessing Jesus One way that I know that I am a believer is that I confess that Jesus is who He says He is, the messiah, the Son of God who died for my sins and rose on the third day. If you look at 1 John, where it says, “them” John is referring to people who don’t confess Jesus. But I do. And the more I confess Him, the more I trust Him. I love the amazing claims that his verse makes. First it says that I am from God and have over come those (spirits) who don’t confess Jesus. And I think he is mainly talking about people, for we are all spirits moving around in a flesh tractor. My spirit is the real me. I have, past tense, overcome those spirits who don’t confess Jesus. I’m going to be honest here: I don’t always feel like some big old spiritual overcomer. Some of those people who rail against God and His church, either directly or indirectly, worry me.
