His Word reminds believers that victory over evil comes through Christ's authority and faithfulness. These teachings inspire courage and a commitment to stand firm in God's righteousness, resisting the darkness.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:21

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:7

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

2 Corinthians 10:3-4

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not;
but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

1 John 5:18

1 John 4:1-6 (KJV)

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
