But if someone claims to be a prophet

and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, 

that person is not from God. 

Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, 

which you heard is coming into the world 

and indeed is already here.

But you belong to God, 

my dear children. 

You have already won a victory over those people, 

because the Spirit who lives in you is greater 

than the spirit who lives in the world.

1 John 4:3-4

(Copenhagen wharf near the royal yacht)

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, 

but of power, 

love, 

and self-discipline. 

2 Timothy 1:7

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light 

so that you can understand the confident hope 

he has given to those he called—

his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

I also pray that you will understand 

the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. 

This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead 

and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand 

in the heavenly realms. 

Ephesians 1:18-19

Then this message came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 

“I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. 

Is anything too hard for me? 

Jeremiah 32:26-27

(Monument to the Defenders of the Coast, 1939, Gdansk, Poland)

This is what the Lord says:

“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,

who rely on human strength

and turn their hearts away from the Lord

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord

and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. 

Jeremiah 17:5,7

(Three Crosses Monument in Solidarity Square in Gdansk, Poland)

“If you obey me and do whatever I command you, 

then you will be my people, 

and I will be your God.”

Jeremiah 11:4

(Amber mosaic in Gdansk, Poland)
