Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? - 1 John 5:5
Who has the victory? Who has this confidence and assurance? Who has this eternal life and deliverance? No one but the person who believes in, receives and trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is seeing the Son in the glory, fullness and suitability of his person, office and grace; going to him, trusting him and 1iving upon him. This shows that the victory over the world is not owing to the faith itself, but to its object, Christ, who has overcome it and made us conquerors in him.
