In Acts 17:1-3, Luke explained how Paul and his companions journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, eventually reaching Thessalonica.
There, they entered a synagogue, and for three consecutive Sabbaths, Paul engaged in discussions with the Jews.
With copious scriptural inferences, he presented a compelling case, setting forth and proving that it was necessary for Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead.

But here’s the most beautiful assertion Paul made. He told them that Jesus, whom he proclaimed and preached unto them, was indeed the Christ.
That was His message—that Jesus is the Christ! This is too important; never underestimate the power of this truth.

Jesus is Christ, the Son of God. If you would believe that, all the blessings in Christ will be yours because that is what He said.
However, to believe that Jesus is the Christ, you must first believe that Jesus came in a physical body.

In 1 John 4, the Apostle John in his writings warned against false teachers, having encountered some who came up with a strange doctrine, denying the reality that Jesus came in the flesh.
Therefore, He emphasized that Christians should test the spirits to determine whether they are from God.
Therefore, He emphasized that Christians should test the spirits to determine whether they are from God.
But here’s a key criterion: *"Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God"* (1 John 4:2).
In the verses above, the translators erroneously assumed *“Jesus Christ”* should be used instead of the actual original rendering, which is *“Jesus as the Christ.”*
In the verses above, the translators erroneously assumed *“Jesus Christ”* should be used instead of the actual original rendering, which is *“Jesus as the Christ.”*
The New English Translation got it right; it says, *"By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus as the Christ who has come in the flesh is from God."*
Every spirit that confesses Jesus as the Christ who has come in flesh is from God. So, Jesus as the Christ came inthe flesh, in the physical body.
Every spirit that confesses Jesus as the Christ who has come in flesh is from God. So, Jesus as the Christ came inthe flesh, in the physical body.
And we know that His bodydied—He was crucified, buried but gloriously resurrected.This is important for salvation. Praise God.

2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

YOU’VE OVERCOME THE WORLD!
(You’ve Been Declared Victorious Over This Evil World)
📖TO THE BIBLE: 1 John 5:4 AMPC “For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even oura faith.”
LET’S TALK⏩
A similar verse to our opening scripture is 1 John 4:4; it says, “…You are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world” (AMPC).

We also read something just as inspiring and enthralling from Peter in his second letter: “By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:4).
How about Paul the apostle? Read what he pens for us by the Spirit in Romans 8:35-39: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword… Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
The apostles, in stating these truths, were affirming the life we have in Christ—a life of victory and dominion over Satan, the world, and its systems.

The Christian is unconquerable. You’re a victor in Christ Jesus; you rule and reign in life through Him. You could never fail. Hallelujah!
Jesus said, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19).
Jesus said, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19).
In Mark 16:18, He said you shall take up serpents, and if you drink any deadly thing, it’ll have no effect on you. When you lay hands on the sick, they shall recover. What a life you have today!
You have overcome the world. Distressing situations may come from the enemy, but be unflustered; in Christ, you’ve already been made triumphant! Train yourself in this victory consciousness. Hallelujah!

THE MAN BEHIND THE NAME
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth. Philippians 2:9-10

The Name of Jesus is powerful. But this power has nothing to do with how the Name is spelt or pronounced.
As a matter of fact, the Name of Jesus is spelt and pronounced differently in different parts of the world. So, where’s the power? The power is in the person behind the Name—the Lord Jesus!
Our Lord Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He’s the greatest of all, highly exalted above the heavens and His glory above all the earth. Hallelujah!
So, when you call upon His Name in faith, everything must hear and obey because He’s the Man behind the Name.
