Overcoming the Perishing World
1John 5:4-5
For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Why does man perish?
Man is in union with a world that is now perishing because God's curse on Adam's sin fell on all creation (Gen.3:17-19, Ps.144:4).
How did Christ overcome the perishing world?
By his birth becoming one with the perishing world, bearing the penalty of the curse and then rising from the dead (Jn.12:24, 16:35).
What is the seed from whence eternal life is drawn for man?
The gospel of Christ which contains life sent from heaven (Rom.10:10-11,17).
How does the seed that germinate unto eternal life which overcomes the perishing world?
By faith in this life while we are in these perishing bodies (Jn.3:16, Lk.8:15).
When is the culmination of our overcoming?
When the Lord returns (1Cor.15:10-53).
