Christian Thought: And the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 1 John 2:14

Putting to death a life full of sins to enter that new life, into that life that means living the spiritual gifts received from above and accepting the word of God, this is the essence of the christian thought. And an example of this was John the Baptist who baptized for the cleansing of sins in the Jordan River.
The Kingdom of God, the dominion of the divine perfections, is an invitation to the freedom of the Lord, to the freedom of the gift of love (Agape), which frees us from the love of the things of the world that make us dependent. To know the word of God, which is the wisdom inspired from above, is to know the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
That is why the apostle John dedicated his first epistle to those who accepted our Lord Jesus and his eternal word and rejected darkness and sin:
"I write to you, dear children,
because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers,
because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,
and the word of God lives in you,
and you have overcome the evil one" 1 John 2:14.
All those who have accepted the light of God have defeated the prince of this world, who is the one who tempted Jesus in the desert. Like Jesus, we are all tested by sin, and rejecting sin implies a very special logic. To those who have achieved this, John dedicated his thoughts.
Because those who love what belongs to the world cannot receive the forgiveness of sins, added John, because selfishness distances us from the spiritual truth:
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world" 1 John 2:15-16.
In resume, what John explained to us is that only those who live in the fear of God (constancy, firmness, devotion) are accepted by the Lord to live the gift of faith.
