1 John Chapter 4
How Do I Know If This Person Is Really From God?
We need to test the spirits of those who teach and speak about God. This is how we can know if they’re either from God or they’re part of the antichrist:
1. Do they acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh?
2. Do they acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God?
If not, then they are part of the antichrist.
But don’t live in fear of those who oppose our Savior Jesus. Don’t get in the thought process that they are greater than ourselves. God says that greater is Christ who lives in us than anyone who lives in this world.
God’s Spirit that lives in us, is the same Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead. Nothing can stand against us if we are in Christ. Don’t live in fear but live knowing you have victory over the enemy.
The Greatest quality that will be evident in those who live in Christ is LOVE.
We will love one another because love comes from God.
In other words, we won’t be haters of individuals. We may hate their sin but we will love them. If we hate one another then how can the love of God be in us? How can we love God whom we can’t see when we hate those whom we can see? It is written that everyone who loves God also love others. Let God get rid of our hate.
