Are you, Have You, Will You Overcome?

Are you, Have You, Will You Overcome?

This message and exhortation centers on the transformative power of faith in Christ, emphasizing that only those who are spiritually reborn and led by the Holy Spirit—identified as the 'called,' 'sheep,' 'saints,' and 'overcomers'—can truly please God. Drawing from Romans 8 and 9, it underscores the impossibility of pleasing God through the flesh or human effort, highlighting that the carnal mind is inherently opposed to God's law and leads only to condemnation. True righteousness comes not through law-keeping but through faith in Jesus, whose faith and victory become the believer's own, enabling them to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil. The message culminates in the assurance that those who are called by God are eternally secure, destined for glory, whom overcome and inherit all things through Christ, because His victory is their victory, and whose peace transcends all circumstances.

THE CALLED,
THE OVERCOMERS, AND
THE PEACE THAT WON'T LEAVE

Romans 8–9, 1 John 4–5, Revelation 21, and John 14 & 16

"He Can't Be Anything But Good"

But anybody else before we jump in the Word?

He is… He is. And He's good all the time, isn't He?

Can He not be but good?

Everything He does is good—even the unwanted things, right? Even the things we didn't ask for. Even the things we wouldn't have chosen. Even the things we'd remove if we could.

But the Lord… He's good.
And He's wise.
And He's faithful.

Alright, let's jump in it.

Where Are We? Romans 8 — "The Flesh Cannot Please God"

Where are we up to?

Romans 8. Romans 8, verse 8.

"So then those who are in the flesh cannot please God."
(Romans 8:8)

Now that's not a suggestion. Tha
