Love and truth are the major themes of I John, and the apostle illustrates how they are related by warning his readers about religious deception: "Little children let no one deceive you." "Children, many antichrists have arisen." "Beloved, do not believe every spirit." "Little children, guard yourselves from idols." Deception is the primary weapon of the Devil: "For he is a liar and the father of lies." By believing falsehoods, people are eternally lost; only by believing the true Gospel are they saved.
