Pastor Chuck Smith 1 John 4

In this lesson from 1 John 4, Pastor Chuck Smith teaches the discerning spirits by testing them to verify if they are from God, focusing on confessing Jesus Christ in the flesh to identify the spirit of Antichrist. Pastor Chuck warns of false prophets and the coming Antichrist, urging caution and testing of spirits. The core theme is God's love shown through sending His Son, encouraging us to love with divine, self-sacrificial agape love born of God. Pastor Chuck shows us that by abiding in Jesus, abiding in His love, fear is cast out, giving us boldness and assurance in judgment, so we can live the commandment to love God and our brothers.

This spoke to me directly. It is so very difficult to love those who hate you. I pray the Lord do a work within me, and to those reading this that have the same problem, that God would give me a love for them like that love he loves us with. God bless and thank you Pastor Chuck.

I burst into tears when he said “He will rejoice over you with singing, you will rest in His love. I’ve heard this many times, it just hit so differently today. I’m so weary and it ministered to me so much. I pray it ministers to others that are also weary.

That bothers me a LOT:
"God cannot dwell in you until His love is Perfected"❗
I was raised to be perfect and was handicapped for many years by the attempt to attain perfection in everything! That is Destructive!!
I refuse to believe that God is that buttheaded and lacks compassion. He Knows that we are but dust ❗

The most profound verses in 1 John 4, are 2 & 3. ''Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is from God, but every spirit who does not confess that Jesus Christ did not come in the flesh is not from God. We must remember that the Greek word Christ, is in the and nowhere in the list of names and offices of our God will you find the office of messiah. So we can say that the trinity is vastly incorrect.
