It is easy to feel inadequate when we measure ourselves by our own strengths, skills, lifestyle or limitations. The Bible directly tackles this feeling by shifting the focus from our own sufficiency to Christ’s completeness in us.
Scripture never promises that we will be enough on our own, but it repeatedly promises that Christ in us makes us more than enough.
The Bible expresses this truth across four primary themes:
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
— Romans 8:37
The Greek word used here is hupernikaō, which literally translates to “super-overcomers"
We win in the end… Heaven, eternity with God.

3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
From epithumeo; a longing (especially for what is forbidden) -- concupiscence, desire, lust (after).
epithymía (from 1909 /epí, "focused on" and 2372 /thymós, "passionate desire") – properly, passion built on strong feelings (urges). These can be positive or negative, depending on whether the desire is inspired by faith (God's inbirthed persuasion)
