All humanity is fundamentally born with sin and cannot help but sin until death, and was destined for hell, unable to overcome the world by their own will.
However, through Jesus Christ's redemption of water, blood, and the Spirit, we who believe have been made into those who overcome the world and Satan.
I hope that you too will accurately know and believe the gospel message of Jesus's water and the Spirit, and through Jesus become one who overcomes the world and Satan.
The text below is a portion of Pastor Paul C. Jong's first sermon collection, "Have you truly been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?"

Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit? |
In 1 John 5:5-6, “Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ.”
The One who overcame the world, who overcame Satan was Jesus Christ.
Fellow Christians, the One who overcame the world, who overcame Satan was Jesus Christ. He who believes in the word of the water, the blood, and the Spirit of Jesus will also overcome the world.
How did Jesus overcome the world? Through the redemption of the water, the blood, and the Spirit.
In the Bible, ‘water’ refers to ‘the baptism of Jesus’ (1 Peter 3:21). Jesus came to this world in the flesh. He came to save the sinners of the world; He was baptized to take away the sins of all the sinners of the world and He died on the Cross to atone for those sins.
The blood on the Cross refers to the fact that He came to this world in the flesh as a man. He came in the form of the flesh of a man to save sinners and was baptized with water. Therefore, Jesus came to us by both water and blood. In other words, He took away all the sins of the world with the water of His baptism and the blood of His death.
How did Satan rule over the world?
Satan caused humankind to doubt the word of God and planted the seeds of disobedience in their hearts. In other words, Satan turned humankind into his servants by deceiving them into disobeying the word of God.
However, Jesus came into this world and blotted out all the sins of people with the water of His baptism and His blood on the Cross: He overcame Satan and blotted out all the sins of the world.
This occurred because Jesus Christ was the Savior of sinners. He became our Savior because He came by water and blood.
When Jesus came down to the world, He took away all the sins of the world. He took away all our sins with His baptism in the Jordan and paid the wages of those sins at the Cross; He paid for our sins with His death. And the prophecy of the just law of God which said that the ‘wages of sin is death’ (Romans 6:23) was fulfilled.
What did Jesus mean by overcoming the world?
The faith that overcomes the world is the faith in the gospel of redemption, for which Jesus brought us by water and blood. He came in the form of the flesh and He testified to salvation with His baptism of water and His death at the Cross.
Jesus overcame the world, namely Satan.
The disciples of the early church stood fast even in the face of martyrdom without submitting to the Roman Empire or to any of the temptations of this world.
This was all a result of their belief that Jesus came by water (He was baptized to take away all our sins), and by His blood at the Cross (He paid the wages of all our sins with His death).
Jesus came in the Spirit (He came in the flesh of man), and He took away the sins of sinners with His baptism and His blood on the Cross so that all of us who are to be redeemed could overcome the world.
