About the invincible you…
1 John 5: 3 And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God
overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our
faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is
the Son of God. (NIV)
We are not invincible. All of us will die. All of us are capable of getting
sick. All of us, unless our life is shortened, will get old and feeble. From all
human and outward appearances, we are extremely vulnerable. However, in the
world and to the world, outward appearances can be deceiving. If we could see
your inner world, your soul, or your spirit, we would see that you have the
capability and the potential to be spiritually invincible. Christ came to give
you hope and your hope is grounded in the fact your spirit cannot be defeated
without your consent. If you fully accept Christ as your Savior, your hope in
Christ rests in the knowledge you will not only never die, but you will live
forever. When your spirit is resting in Christ you are always capable of good
spiritual health. In your spirit, you will never get old. In your spirit, you
will be forever young. Although your outward bodily appearance may seem as if
you are getting wrinkled and gray, inside your heart, mind, and soul, you need
not age. In your spirit, you are invincible if you want to be. In your spirit,
you can remain healthy and vibrant. In your spirit, you can maintain an inspired
upstanding spiritual posture. In your spirit, you can vigorously run forever
toward Christ's goal of eternal life. No matter what happens on the
outside of your life, on the inside of your life, you can be invincible when you
are a true child of God.
