Does it feel like the whole world is against you? Like everywhere you turn, there’s another attack? Like every word you say is twisted to hurt you? Like dangers lurk behind every corner? Then you need this encouragement: “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). If only we could remember and believe those words every moment of every day: “The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world!”
There was once someone whom the whole world was really against. Jesus! There was once someone who truly faced danger around every corner, whose every beautiful word was twisted against him. Jesus! But he didn’t back down. He didn’t turn and hide. Jesus died and rose to prove who really is great. Who really is powerful. Who really loves you so much. Jesus! Does it feel like the whole world is against you? Jesus knows that feeling, and he knows how to overcome it, because he himself has overcome as our Savior. Never forget that “the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world!”
