NASB | 1 John 4:4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:4 Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]. |
Bible Question: If Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us can a christian still be affected by any curse? |
Bible Answer: Hi DAW, I think the overiding scriptural principle can be found in 1 John 4:4: "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." The verse you quoted is from Galatians 3:13 and deals with a spiritual curse (death). The heart of the matter is can a believer in whom Christ dwells by faith and lives in (Gal. 2:20) have another (spiritual) entity controlling him? I think not. (Rom. 8:9) Can you offer a specific instance that may help on this? BradK |
