We can be victorious in our spiritual war thanks to our faith in the God-given gospel Word of the water and the Spirit. When we look upon the righteousness of our Lord, we can realize from our own experience that we have the faith that enables us to follow Him. It is only by our faith in the written Word of God that we can live as the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ and follow Him with our hearts. From where does the power of faith come to enable us to follow the Lord? This power comes from faith in the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit that our Lord has bestowed on us, and it is through this faith that we can renew our strength and emerge victorious. This is because we believe that the Lord has already cleansed our hearts with the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit.
