Faith is the Victory, written by Nancy Cunningham, focuses on the five Hebrew words for faith: amen, batach, chasah, yaqal, and qawah and five women in the Bible who epitomized these qualities: Abigail, Hannah, Sarah, Ruth, and Mary.
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world—our faith!
And who is the one who overcomes the world, but He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1Jo 5:4–5

In, but not of.

In but not of

We share identification with Christ, a separation from the world (Joh 17:11-19). This includes a challenge – Jesus was the message; He sent the disciples with Him. For the same purpose, we’ve been sent (Luk 19:10). Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world (Joh 18:36). When His will is done in our lives, we reflect of His Kingdom (Mat 6:10, Mat 6:33). We are citizens of heaven (Phi 3:20-21); God expects performance in accordance with privileges we’ve received (Rom 12:1-2); (1) Provision - "the Mercies of God"; (2) Decision - "present your body"; (3) Conclusion - "transformed by the renewing of your mind". We are ambassadors (2Co 5:14-15; 2Co 5:20). Put on Christ (Rom 13:9-14).
