It has been established that the world is the grand enemy of believers. So, for a believer to live in peace in this earthly life and make heaven at last, he/she must overcome the challenges of the world. And no one can overcome the world without having Christ who had conquered and own the world.

It is a great comfort to Christians, to know that Christ has overcome the world, that is, all things in the world, which may hinder the believer’s comfort. The privilege or power to be an overcomer only abides in those who are believers indeed. If you are a Christian you are conferred the privilege to be a soldier as long as you are a believer, and as far as you are a soldier you are a soldier as long as you are a believer, and as far as you are a soldier you are a conqueror.

But if a believer abuses the pri-vileges of the grace of God made available to him by continuing in iniquity and evil he will not have the moral justification to continue to parade himself as overcomer because he is certainly not one. If he dies in such condition he will head straight to hellfire and even in this world he will suffer crisis and devoid of any form of divine protection.
