For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; a proof of the assertion just made, that God's commands are not grievous. Nothing is opposed to the fulfilment of them but the love of the world; and this is overcome by all who are born of God.

This is the victory-our faith; for through faith we see Jesus the Son of God as our Saviour, and with him the unseen and eternal realities of heaven, 2 Corinthians 4:18; 1 Peter 1:8; and thus we overcome the fear of man and the love of things seen and temporal.
