By God's Grace, You Have Victory in The World

John means "God's grace" in Hebrew.

The number "four" speaks of the world: four corners, four directions, four winds, four major elements of the world.

The number "seventeen" represents victory.

These three elements come together in a powerful revelation to the believer.

Consider John 17: 4 --

"I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."

In Christ, we have more than the victory because in Christ we have all things.

By God's grace, we have victory in the world.

Now consider 1 John 4: 17 --

"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4: 17)

By God's grace, in the world we have victory.

Could it be any more compelling? This grace comes to us through Jesus Christ:

"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." (John 1: 17)

Behold once again, seventeen, the number of victory, which we receive by God's grace in His Son!
