No Fear of Haters
“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 (NIV)
We should not be intimidated by the haters of Christianity because there is no promise of life in them. We already have the victory over those who deny that Jesus is the Son of God. We have been promised eternal life, we have been promised deliverance from God’s wrath of judgement, we have been promised His love despite what persecution evil doers may devise.
We will do well to keep in mind that the Spirit of God dwells within us and He is greater than any spirit of man that may be against us. He who is within us is eternal while he who is against us is temporal.
Let’s pray today that we may not shrink or give in to the enemy of souls but live by His Spirit.
