1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
The promise for us believing children of God is that the One who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world. Therefore, we, who are of God, have overcome the Evil One, the Enemies, and the Antichrists in the world. ”The world lies in the evil one.” The spirit of antichrist has gone out into the world and fights against Christ, and God, against us, and against the Christian Gospel.
This spirit rules the world, its philosophy, its religion, its belief system, its morals, its principles, and its thought processes. The world tempts us to believe and live by its anti-Christ lies. But we have God in us, the Truth, the Gospel, and through Him we have overcome.
We face overwhelming and relentless attacks upon body and soul from the one who is in the world. But praise God, the One who has already been victorious lives and rules and wins in us. We take that gospel promise and apply it to the present presenting issue we are facing. And we overcome, for we believe the promise: greater is He that is in us.
