It took the apparent formlessness of everyday life and made it an object of serious, even urgent interrogation. Lipstick Traces jolted me in a way that I still remember. There was a sense of almost boundless freedom, but also a creeping anxiety at the complete absence of purposeful activity and the feeling of being fundamentally unable to make meaning out of all that empty time. I had finished a bachelor’s degree and was doing next to nothing other than drinking coffee, playing chess and lingering aimlessly at the Esplanade Hotel in St Kilda.

This is confirmed in 1 John 5:1, which says, literally, “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God.”įaith is the evidence that we have been born of God. In other words, the way that being born of God overcomes the worldly burdensomeness of God’s commandments is by begetting faith. The apostle John says, “This is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith” (1 John 5:4). How does being born of God make the commandments of God a delight rather than a burden? What is plain in these verses is that being born again - being born of God - turns the commandments of God from being burdensome to being our delight. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:3–5) And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. ![]() |
