1 John 4:1-6

Listen to 1 John 4:1-6

1 Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

2 in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,

3 and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

4 Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in the world.

5 They -- of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;

6 we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the 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.
