1 John 5 v 4-5 ,reads , ' For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world,even our faith.Who is he who overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. C.H. Dodd commenting on these word writes the following.
''The way to victory is not a confident assertion of our own better selves, but faith,and faith necessarily refers to something beyond ourselves. The victorious faith of the Christian is trust in God as He is revealed in Christ Jesus His Son. It means committing ourselves to the Love of God as it is expressed in all that Jesus Christ was and all that He did,''
' Victory! victory! blessed-blood -bought victory,
Victory! victory! vict'ry all the time.
As Jehovah liveth, strength divine He giveth,
Unto those who know Him vict'ry all the time.'
