“Strong in the Word”


1 John 2:14 (ESV)

“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 abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.”


John repeats himself—but adds depth.


He says the young men are strong because:

 • The Word of God abides in them

 • They have overcome the evil one


Spiritual strength isn’t personality.

It isn’t boldness.

It isn’t confidence in self.


It comes from the Word abiding within.


Victory over the enemy is not achieved by willpower—it flows from truth rooted deeply in the heart.


And the fathers? 

Their strength is relational:

They know Him.


Spiritual maturity looks like this:

 • Deep knowledge of God

 • Strong rooting in Scripture

 • Real victory over sin


If the Word of God abides in you, it will shape how you think, fight, and live.
