I would like to have you open your Bible at the first epistle of John, fifth chapter, fourth and fifth verses: "Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" When a battle is fought, all are anxious to know who are the victors. In these verses we are told who is to gain the victory in life. When I was converted I made this mistake: I thought the battle was already mine, the victory already won, the crown already in my grasp. I thought that old things had passed away, that all things had become new; that my old corrupt nature, the Adam life, was gone. But I found out, after serving Christ for a few months, that conversion was only like enlisting in the army, that there was a battle on hand, and that if I was to get a crown, I had to work for it and fight for it.

The Overcoming Life and Other Sermons Reviews

  • F

    Considering Moody died before the year 1900 this book may be surprisingly up-to-date for many readers. To those familiar with the truths of God's eternal Word it won't be surprising but will be helpful, enlightening, and Scriptural. Very readable, very interesting and very good.

  • Acacia Slaton

    Applicable book for the times!

    This book is well written and very engaging; it held my attention from beginning to end! If your faith is week and you need a boost of God-confidence then you'll want to keep this one in your library and read it again and again when the need arises.

    Five stars

    Unusually well written. Definitely worth reading. I have not read anything better than this book except for the Bible itself.
