FAITH OVERCOME THE WORLD

   The Holy Scriptures treat the people of God as "strangers and pilgrims" (1-P.2.11-12) in relation to the common people. The Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and across the desert toward the Promised Land "flowing with milk and honey" were current figure of spiritual Israel (Ro.9.6-8; 10. 11.13; 2.28-29).

   The Church or God's people out of Egypt, in the spiritual sense means the sinful world, and is heading to the "glorious freedom of the children of God" (Ro.8.20-21). The agreement or covenant made by God with Israel so they could receive the blessings of Canaan, the Promised Land, consisted of a series of strict ordinances and sometimes so severe that the rape was death itself.

   Now, the new covenant or plan of God to free mankind from the bondage of sin ... Of his own inability to successfully control the overflow of their low human tendencies, disease, death, injustice, evil and social chaos that it generates ; the revelation of that "good news" or gospel, was what Jesus came to declare: "It is necessary to other cities also preach the kingdom of God; because for this purpose I have been sent "(Lc.4.43; Jn.18.37; 14.15; 3.16-17)..

   So that realize the "good news" about his will "and perfect" (Ro.12.2) is one of the fundamental means by which we count we approach God for answers. (Lc.9.2; Mr.1.15; Ef.6.14).

   But our Saviour was aware that mere knowledge was not enough, sometimes fatigue and puffed up (Ec.12.12; 1-Co.8.1), but we needed a special power to escape from the tyranny of evil forces , concentrated in Satan and his demons (Ef.6.12; 1-P.5.8) in the sinful world (Stg.4.4;. 1-John 2: 15-17), and our own human nature (Ro.7.22- 24). Thus, people who believe the good news about the Kingdom of God, and accept the sovereignty of King Jesus in their lives, are provided with another great resource to defeat adversity:

   It is the power of the Holy Spirit of God in their lives, which is received by exercising faith in the redeeming martyrdom of our Savior. Who become servants of this sovereign, after recognizing his futile way of life, apart from God "without hope and without God in the world" (Ef.2.12) are guaranteed a victorious life, by virtue not of its own forces and merits but for this precious gift that makes them partakers of the divine nature (1-P.1.4, one-Co.3.16; Hch.1.8; Jn.14 15-17;. 2-Co.4.7; Ephesians 3. 14-21).

   Other large resources available to participants in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is the support of his angels, which are "ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation" (He.1.14).

   Someday our King Salvador, in person, make us surrender of his kingdom in its fullness, free from weeds or corrupted elements (Mt.13.41-43; 25.34), and we also give an accurate account of the work performed angels of the Lord for us, because of our needs and in response to the prayers that did the Eternal Father on behalf of his beloved Son, Jesus of Nazareth.
