1 John 4
1 JohnSteve Gregg
In this passage from the Bible, 1 John 4, the author warns against false prophets and emphasizes the importance of testing spirits. The passage highlights the heresy of Gnosticism and stresses the need to confess Jesus as coming in the flesh, refuting any denial of God's part in human existence. The author also mentions the gift of prophecy and urges discernment when it comes to prophetic utterances, as not everyone speaking in the name of the Lord may actually be a true prophet. The passage concludes by emphasizing the importance of loving God and one another, as well as the need to have boldness and not fear in expressing that love.
