       We, as Christians, are the only ones who have that ability. We are the only ones who can truly overcome the world. And how do we overcome the world? How do we overcome sin in our lives, in our flesh? Paul tells us, “but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.” This is just as John just told us. We have to have faith, as John said, in order to present ourselves to obedience, to doing what is right. We talked about this last week. If we doubt, we what? We believe that victory is probably not going to be ours. That line of thinking, that we probably won’t win, is doubt. When is the last time you saw an athlete win a competition, and when being interviewed afterward, the athlete said, “Oh, I didn’t believe I would win, but somehow, someway, I won.” You usually don’t hear an athlete say that.
