—1 John 4:1-6
by: Sheri Rood.
John instructed his readers to “test the spirits” to make sure they believe the right things. A lying spirit will tell you it does not matter what you believe about Jesus as long as you “believe” in Jesus. The Spirit of truth confesses that Jesus is God who came in the flesh, died for our sins, and rose from the grave. He ascended to the Father, where He sits at the Father’s right hand in power and authority. We need to have a clear confession about these matters and not let the lying spirits prevail.
