One of my favorite Gospel moments came when the Holy Spirit shared with me the immense love that comes with the finished work of Christ … and John laid it down straight in 1 John 4. Like Paul’s letter to the Romans, there is no second guessing of what John is conveying here … plain simple truth. And if anyone should question the voice of the spirit they are hearing, John also begins this chapter by providing a perfect discerning-tool, so that we can unmistakably identify the spirit that speaks to us. And this can used on a daily basis.
Isn’t that just awesome?
Test the spirit!
Why? Because there are so many. And only one to listen to.
