—1 John 4:2-3, 13-17; 5:4-5
by: Gabrielle Osborn.
Gullible: being easily persuaded to believe something. While believing in the goodness of people is not a bad thing, this passage from 1 John warns us that being too gullible can be detrimental to our faith. It is clear that there are false prophets in the world teaching a false gospel. This passage teaches us how to discern false teachers. We know that Jesus is both fully God and fully man. If anyone denies His deity or His humanity, it should be an automatic warning to question the validity of what they are saying and the authority from which they are speaking.
