The Great Upset!
51 Times in the New Testament
The Bible Speaks about the “World”
It’s not talking about creation or the earth but It’s talking about a system.
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
world system n. — the people constituting the world whose values, beliefs, and morals are in distinction and rebellion to God’s.
He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
This system that seeks to gratify the flesh and desires to gratify the eyes and to obtain the pride of life… .
Is not from God but from the world!
It’s a rebellion to God....
This is why John said…
Do not....
I commanding you…
Do not love the world…
Now John 16 is a little different....
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
This greek word for World means…
Is Kosmos - Creation
The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
Jesus said in this world - the Kosmos
You will have tribulation…
Tribulation: distress (state) n. — an oppressive state of physical, mental, social, or economic adversity.
You will.... It’s guarantee…
We will have sickness
We will have loss of loved ones
We will have mental stress
Social adversity
People will be messy
Liars
Haters
We will have have times when are money will be funny…
This is why Satan is called the Ruler of this World
Or the Prince of the air
Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.
in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—
Satan will use:
#1 The systems of the this World
#2 The Trouble of this World
To try to defeat us!
He want’s to destroy us…
He want’s to have Victory over us....
He want’s our faith!!!!!!!!!
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
Everyone!
Who believes…
That Jesus is the Christ
Christ: The Messiah / The Anointed Savior / Sent to redeem the world
John 3:16 - He that believeth.....
“By this we know that we love the children of God”
What is the this?
#1 When we love God
Love: to love (care) v. — to have a great affection or care for or loyalty towards.
#2 Obey his commandments
“For this is the love of God”
What is the this?
“That we keep his commandments”
The Love of God…
Is keeping His commandments…
Because God is Love… .
His commandments is His Word
And He is The Word…
So when I keep his commandments
I am demonstrating His Love....
Why? Because I’m His Image…
That why people see God’s love in action through me!
“And his commandments are not burdensome.”
Burdensome: Oppressive
There is a Blessing to be a Believer
There is a Blessing in being born of God
There is a new team that I am on
I keep His commandments
I love People
I demonstrate His love!
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
“For Everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world.’”
Overcomes - to defeat v. — to win a victory over, as in a contest or military conflict.
“And this is the victory that has overcome the world.”
What is the this?
“Our Faith”
The one thing that the devils wants to destroy!
Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
My faith has to believe
That Jesus is the Son of God
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
I know we have the cross.. Jesus said it was Finished…
But in order for something to be finished.... There must be a beginning!!!!
The son had to be born to fulfill was was prophesied in the Beginning…
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
But I got good news!!!!!!!
Our Faith is our Victory
Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
The Great Upset....
The works of the Devil is through
#1 Trouble in the world
#2 Through the system of the World…
But My faith is Jesus is how I overcome / DEFEAT the World…
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
But Take Heart!
Be of Good Cheer!
To be confident v. — to have or be marked by confidence or assurance.
Jesus / The Son of God
Has overcome the world!
I have peace!
