Read 1 John 4:1–3
#1 We are in a spiritual war.
Antichrist will be a real person, a world leader; he will deceive the world.
John was refuting Gnosticism.
Gnostics believed salvation came through “hidden spiritual knowledge,” not Christ.
To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and was God among us.
He was fully God and fully man and He died on the cross for our sins.
He bodily rose again three days later, and He will come again.
The purpose of 1 John was so we could know God,
and so you could know you have eternal life.
I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,
so that you may know you have eternal life.
1 John 5:13 (NLT)
John uses the word ginosko for 'know'.
John is saying, “there is no secret knowledge, you can know this now.”
#2 God is bigger and greater than everyone and everything.
1 John 4:4
God is greater than Satan, greater than sin, greater than your problem.
A. Moses at the Red Sea
God said, “I will fight for you, you need only to be still.”

I John 4:18
This is simply having the confidence that you are loved and forgiven by God.
He lovingly will guide your life and one day welcome you to heaven.
If you are living in fear, especially fear of judgement,
you have not yet grasped what it is to be loved by God.
Jesus absorbed God’s wrath for you.
#5 God will never stop loving you.
Romans 8:38–39
Fears change with the passing of time.
God has something to say to us at every stage of life.
#6 Our love for God is a response to God’s love for us.

God’s love is what draws us to Him.
We’re remembering that love moved in, and fear had to move out.
