"Healthy Suspicion" - 1 John 3:24 - 4:6

There is a healthy level of suspicion that John is encouraging in the church in 1 John 4. Remember, people say and do all kinds of things in the name of God.....and in the name of the Holy Spirit! John thinks we need to be more scrutinizing in the spiritual realm.

When someone presents us with a picture of Jesus that seems "off" or distorted, that should raise a red flag! We need to look more closely and ask more questions. There are a lot of spiritual fakes out there.

It is not unloving or ungracious to exercise spiritual caution. There are more forces at work than the Holy Spirit, and the realm of evil is invested in distorting Jesus.

What was the unworkable picture of Jesus being pedaled in John's day? How do we "test" what we hear?

That's the topic for this video, so...

...View and See!!!!!
