1 John 5:4 - For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

The Apostle John wrote this letter warning about false prophets in the world.

He warned the believers about the world:
1.  Love not the world
2.  The world will not know you.
3. The world may hate you.
4. The world is wicked.

Yet he also gave the way to victory for the believer:
1. 1 Jn 4:4 
2. 1 Jn 5:4

Those who gladly received the word of Peter in Acts 2,  were baptized.  A group of about 3000 on that inaugural day of the New Testament church had responded to the instructions of Peter in Acts 2:38.
But those who experienced Acts 2:38,  needed to continue steadfastly.  
To all who experience Acts 2:38,  there is more to being saved than a once in lifetime experience.  Salvation must become a way of living.
