In chapter 4 of the first letter of John, the apostle begins by speaking about the importance of the Christian not believing in every spirit, but rather being attentive to these warnings. We know well that every spirit that confesses that Jesus came in the flesh is from God and abides in His love.
In this chapter, we will talk about what is the key to remaining in God. Why remain in God? Because when man has love, he has God, and this will allow him to identify the deceptions of the enemy. John teaches us the best way to remain in God and for Him to remain in us.
Next, we will see what 1 John 4:15 says, where it shows us the key to remaining in God:
hosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:15
John was constantly fighting against doctrines that proclaimed a different gospel and deceiving prophets. To counteract this, it is necessary to remain in the love of God, because if His love is in us, then God will remain in us.
His love makes us remain in the Lord, just as John says. He has given us His Spirit, and His Spirit testifies that we are of God because we recognize and walk under His commands.
Beloved, we invite you to remain in the love of the Lord every day, because in this way, God will remain in us and His Spirit will not leave us alone. Therefore, it is good that we remain in His love, which comes from God.
