Did Jesus overcome the world?
Paul speaks of the basic principles of this world we are to overcome as the law
So what does that mean for us?
So basically what it is saying is .. we overcome the world with faith or trust because the one inside us is greater than the miserable principles of the world (colossians 2) i.e. the law.
So what it says to me is .. people who seek to bind themselves under the law .. do not wish to be Christians . because Christians by nature overcome what the law is all about: the basic principles of the world.
it doesn't mean they aren't Christians .. it just means their actions and words are communicating that
they don't want to be
