1 John | 4:1-3

Not everything we hear or are taught is true, so John calls God’s people to be discerning about what they believe. Rather than accepting every teaching without question, we are called to “test the spirits” and consider whether what we hear aligns with the truth of Jesus. John gives us a clear foundation for discernment: the Spirit of God always leads us toward a true confession of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came in the flesh. In a world filled with competing ideas about who Jesus is, may we become people who know the truth, test what we hear, and remain firmly rooted in Jesus.
