Throughout our lives, we would have overcome many kinds of challenges and hurdles. There are also many other challenges and hurdles which we may still be trying to overcome or have yet to overcome, and one of which is avoiding sin. We face many temptations in life, some obvious, some so subtle, that we need to constantly discern whether a particular action or certain words could lead us or others to sin.
In
today's reading, we are reminded: "Who can overcome the world? Only the man who believes that Jesus is the Son of God... God has given us eternal life and
this life is in his Son; anyone who has the Son has life, anyone who
does not have the Son does not have life." When we have life in Jesus, then we would have much help in overcoming sin, since Jesus has given us life. If we have found that we have been drifting away from God, or neglecting our life in Jesus, may we come to realise our situation, and return to life in
Jesus, walking in His ways and growing in relationship with Him, for the betterment of our eternal future.

6 January
As Christians, what do we really believe in? We say that we believe in Jesus, but do we really know who Jesus is? Some Christians had fallen into heresy in the past, when they began to think of Jesus as only a man, or only God, whereas Christians believe that Jesus is both man and God, and that He is Son of God. If we call ourselves Christians, then we not only believe in Jesus, but we also have life in Him and we do what He tells us. Are we following Jesus and His ways, or have we drifted away from Him and are doing our own thing?
In today's reading, we are reminded: "God has given us eternal life and this life is in his Son; anyone who has the Son has life, anyone who does not have the Son does not have life." Do we have life in Jesus? Or have we allowed sin to rule our lives, and allowed ourselves to go astray? May we come to realise our situation, and return to life in Jesus, walking in His ways and growing in relationship with Him, for the betterment of our eternal future.
