Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Believers know there are forces that oppose Christ. Scripture includes a discussion of the antichrist, but the spirit of the antichrist is no match when compared with the Spirit of God.
When the author of the book of 1 John uses the term, “little children,” he is addressing believers. 1 John 2-4 (ESV) tells us,
”By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
These verses distinguish between those who confess Christ and those who stand in opposition. Believers: I tell you to have confidence because you know who is greater.
