We Know - 1 John 4:1-6 | Locate the Spirits | Deep in the Bible No. 47
In Lesson 17 of the We Know series, host Timothy Agee dives into 1 John 4:1–6 to explore Apostle John’s crucial exhortation to "test the spirits." Building on the end of chapter 3 regarding the indwelling Holy Spirit, Timothy explains how early Gnostic false teachings threatened the early church and details the two-directional test presented in the text: evaluating our own walk in the Spirit of truth versus identifying false prophets operating in the spirit of error. Drawing connections to Philippians 1, 2 Timothy 4, and Acts 2:38, this episode emphasizes the vital need for scriptural knowledge and discernment to recognize truth, resist worldly compromise, and rest in the assurance that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.
