How to Discern and Overcome Error

Scripture: 1 John 3:24, 4:1-6

 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

1 John 3:18-24 (ESV)
  1. The Discerning Believer TESTS Every Spirit (1 Jn 4.1, Jer 29:8, 2 Cor 11.13-16, Deut 13, Jer 23, Jn 14.6, Gal 1.8, Matt 7.15-20)
  2. The Discerning Believer CONFESSES Jesus (1 Jn 4.2-3,)
  3. The Discerning Believer OVERCOMES the World (1 Jn 4.4-6)

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

1 John 4:1-6 (ESV, emphasis added)

Guide to Truth | Abide: Live Like Jesus 21

by

What kind of tree are you?  Are you and orange tree? Apple tree? Banana tree?

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
– John 15:4 (ESV)

You know a tree by it’s fruit.

Abide in me!  This summarizes the final teachings of Jesus in his last few hours on earth.

As we continue to study the book of John on Sunday mornings, we have transitioned into Jesus teaching on his enduring presence.  As we live in his Spirit we will bear his fruit.
