B-6 2021 Star-Times South Gibson Star-Times Church Tuesday, November 2, 2021 B-7 Little miracles Pre-School minutes With the bible By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam God's word to us "This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" (I John 5:4). There are many who look upon faith as an abstract sort of thing. Some suppose faith is merely looking on the bright side of things; to oth- ers it is will-power; still oth- ers confuse it with a person's view-point. In the Bible, faith is sim- ply believing God. "Faith" is the noun and "believe" the verb. This is seen in Rom. 4:5, where the Apostle Paul declares: "To him that worketh not but believeth on Him that jus- tifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteous- ness." The above passage from I John 5 also makes this plain, when seen in its context: "This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. "Who is he that overcom- eth the world but he that be- lieveth that Jesus is the Son of God" ( Vers. 4,5). It is, then, the believer in Christ, and only the believ- er in Christ, who can over- come the world. Unbelievers are swept away by the attrac- tions and the pretentions of this world- system, but the believer in Christ need not be. St. Paul declared by di- vine inspiration that unbe- lievers follow "the course of this world," directed by Sa- tan, "the spirit that now wor- keth in the children of dis- obedience" (Eph. 2:2). We do not mean to im- ply that believers are not of- ten tempted to follow "the course of this world." Indeed the world would sometimes entice or intimidate us, but "this is the victory that over- cometh the world, even our faith."
