How to be sure that you will always defeat the Antichrist

What do John and the Holy Spirit want us to do with this teaching on the Antichrist? We are not to look to current events, today’s news, politicians rising, or nations clanging their swords to determine who is the Antichrist. Instead, John says, look within your local church for the spirit of the Antichrist. Who do you see and hear denying that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God made flesh to take away the sins of the world? That is how we protect ourselves from The Antichrist.
