(Read 1 John 2:12-14.)

15. (a) Who are the “young men” John addresses, and how have they “conquered the wicked one”? (b) Give an example of how we might ‘conquer’ Satan today.

¹⁵ The “young men” John addresses may be younger, less experienced Christians. They “have conquered the wicked one,” Satan, by not succumbing to his “designs.” (2 Corinthians 2:11) For example, today this would include avoiding unclean entertainment, sensual music, and pornography, which can erode Christian principles and result in a fall into sexual immorality. The “young men” are victorious over Satan because they are spiritually “strong” and “the word of God” remains in them.
