Is This of God? (1 John 3:7-10 & 4:1-6)

In this message, we are encouraged to test and affirm messages that we hear from other people. Not everyone who claims to know God actually teaches the truth of God. This section from 1 John teaches us to test and affirm by 1) looking at the evidence of their lifestyle, 2) using discernment, 3) testing the message, and 4) observing the audience. Followers of Jesus are called to cling to God’s truth, not just what we perceive to be the truth.
