1 John 4:1-6

Listen to 1 John 4:1-6

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, if they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses Jesus Christ come in flesh is of God;

3 and every spirit which does not confess Jesus Christ come in flesh is not of God: and this is that [power] of the antichrist, [of] which ye have heard that it comes, and now it is already in the world.

4 *Ye* are of God, children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that [is] in you than he that [is] in the world.

5 *They* are of the world; for this reason they speak [as] of the world, and the world hears them.

6 *We* are of God; he that knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Beloved, Test the Spirits Part 2

Damian Kyle

Have you ever read something online, received a strange text or email, or even had someone you trust present to you some sort of truth claim! But it didn’t sit well with you. It seemed off! Not everything we hear or read is true. So it’s incumbent upon us to test what we hear with the truth of the Word of God. Pastor Damian Kyle will help us with that today on According to the Scriptures, as we go deeper into First John. The early part of chapter four gives us a marvelous test for truth.
