1 John 4:1-3

Listen to 1 John 4:1-3

On Denying the Incarnation

1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation, Part 11: Is Jesus Still a Man Right Now?
The Legal and Vital Work of Salvation, Part 11: Is Jesus Still a Man Right Now?
Dr. Abel Damina

Were you taught that Jesus is God, seated far off in heaven, unreachable and unchanging? Scripture tells a fuller story.In this episode of Reintroducing Jesus, Beyond Religion, Dr. Abel Damina walks through Philippians 2:5–8 and 1 Corinthians 15:24–28 to show that Jesus became “man in his spirit… man in his soul… and man in his body,” and that even now, after the resurrection, “he will remain a man until all things are subdued… until the end of the age.” Because Jesus is a man, Dr. Damina explains, He can only be in one place at a time — “when we say Jesus is in you we are referring to the Holy Spirit.”You’ll come away with a clearer, Scripture-based picture of who Jesus is right now — and what it really means when believers say Jesus lives “in” them.
