1 John 4:1-6
Do not believe every spirit, no every spirit is come from God, because many false prophet have gone out into the world.
How to recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.
We are from God and have overcome the world, because the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world.
How we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. We are from God, and whoever knows God listen to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.
John sets one basic test by which to judge any teacher - he must recognize that Jesus Christ came as a human being. He is not ignoring the equally essential recognition of Jesus as Son of God.
Why?
When we speak the truth, many are not listen to us, because they are not from God so do not frustrate about it. They are belong to the world.
Do not believe every spirit, discerning which is the spirit of God.
We belong to God, we can tell truth from error. But it was Jesus's humanity that the heretics of John's day denied.
How?
Do not afraid we are overcome the world, tell the truth whoever belong to God listen to us. Be careful do not believe every spirit.
