1 John 4:4 "You, dear children, are from God
and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one
who is in the world."
John is teaching us that there are only two spiritual powers in the world. The greatest spiritual force is that of Christ. The spirit of antichrist is the spirit of the world. Those who have that spirit will always speak in accordance with the world's perspective. That spirit teaches you are on your own to take what you can from the physical world to satisfy your body and soul. You are all that matters.
The Spirit of Christ in us teaches us to sacrificially love, as Christ did for us. His Spirit teaches us to lay down our lives for others. He teaches us that it is not about us, but it is about the glory of God. That sounds like foolishness to the world, but to those whom God has chosen, it is the music of truth.
Jesus Christ is the great dividing topic of every culture throughout the world. The Spirit of truth has prevailed and overcome the world in the heart of every believer. He is the Spirit who will reign supreme throughout eternity.
