 Where the world reigns in the heart by J.C. Ryle


[b]Where the world reigns in the heart[/b]

(J. C. Ryle, "Faith")

"For everyone who has been born of God overcomes
the world. And this is the victory that has overcome
the world--our faith." 1 John 5:4

He who truly believes on Christ, overcomes the world.

A true believer is not ruled by the world's
standards of right or wrong, of truth or error.

He is independent of the world's opinion.

He cares little for the world's praise.

He is not moved by the world's blame.

He does not seek for the world's pleasures.

He is not ambitious of the world's rewards.

He looks at things unseen. He sees an invisible
Savior, a coming judgment, and a crown of glory
which never fades away. The sight of these
objects makes him think comparatively little
of this glittering world.

Where the world reigns in the heart, there
is no saving faith. A man who is habitually
conformed to the world, has no right to regard
himself as a believer!

"For everyone who has been born of God overcomes
the world. And this is the victory that has overcome
the world--our faith." 1 John 5:4
