He is greater

Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 AMP

Our God is greater. The Scripture tells us that as children of God we have overcome.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 NKJV

The Scriptures so often remind us that God is for us. Jesus is actually interceding for us.

Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us? Romans 8:34 AMP

He is on our side, and through Him we are more than conquerors.

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10 AMP

Jesus, the one who made a way so that we can come directly and boldly into God's throne room.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:22-23 NIV
