"4 For whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. 5 Who is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is the one who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and blood. The Spirit is one that testifies, and the spirit is truth."
Commentary:
Ultimately, Christians will win the battle with evil. For the Prince of Darkness is Satan, but his opposite is Christ, King of Kings and Prince of Peace. Sometimes this worldly battle seems impossible, but really, its inevitable that righteousness will win. Truth triumphs, and the Spirit is within us; if the Spirit is Truth, the Truth lies within our hearts.
If we feel lost in this world, or lost within ourselves, the light of Truth is always there. The Spirit is within us at Baptism, and as Catholics, His place is secured at our Confirmation.
