1 John 4:4 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.
This is more than just a pep talk to pump us up as believers, going around singing a catchy little chorus about having the Holy Spirit within. It is a serious, solemn reminder that we have the Holy Spirit within us "to guide us into all truth". He is greater, in context, than Satan in that He is the Spirit of Truth who can protect us from the lies and deception of the Evil One, and his false prophets, IF we are willing to listen to Him and not the voices of this world. So whereas it is a precious promise, it is even more a stark reminder that we have WHO we need to not be led astray, to overcome the lies the enemy throws our way.
