OUR FAITH

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."

1 John 5:4
King James Version

Pastor John H. Yates wrote one of my favorite hymns "Faith Is the Victory". I'm so glad that we can overcome the heartaches and sorrows in this crazy mixed up world through the unconditional compassionate love and help of our precious Saviour.

I love these words in this beautiful hymn "Encamped along the hills of light, Ye Christian soldiers, rise. and press the battle ere the night Shall veil the glowing skies. Against the foe in vales below Let all our strength be hurled. Faith is the victory, we know, That overcomes the world."

We can't do anything in our own strength. It takes Jesus working in us and through us to help us go on when we have to go through dark valleys and crises. Thank God for His compassionate love and for adopting us into His family through the shed blood of His Son on the cross.
