'Test the Spirits' from the Sermon Series '1 John‪'‬ The GMC Podcast

    • Christianity

What is the test of faith for the Christian? Is it what we do, what we believe, how we act? There is a way to be a Christian of course, because there are expectation for those who profess this faith - and the first test is to understand the reality of the teaching received about God - Father, Son and Spirit and to realise that not all is of God.

Pastor Mike Weaver delve further into 1John as he writes about 'testing the spirits' to understand that those who infuse there teaching with the 'ways of the world' are not true teachers of God's word. Today in a world that has a multiplicity of truths, it is ever more important that Christians have wise discernment of what is from God, and what is not, and ultimately what is true is that which does not contradict God's eternal Word.
