Test the Spirits

Tim Farley

Reading the Word 1 John 4:1–6 (ESV) 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have … Continue reading Test the Spirits

Tim Farley

Reading the Word 1 John 3:11–24 (ESV) 11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother.

Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother … Continue reading Love Your Brother
