Chris.
Christ had and has overcome the World System! This is a very wonderful statement of His. It means that if we are in Christ that we, too, can overcome the World System. What is the World System? It is the lust of the flesh; the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. This is evidently true, there is so much lust and pride ruling and ruining the World today.
