Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1Th 5:212Pe 2:11Ti 4:12Jn 1:7Pro 14:15Mat 24:4-5Jer 29:8-9Mat 7:15-16 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, Jhn 1:141Co 12:31Ti 3:161Jn 4:31Jn 5:1Jhn 16:13-151Jn 2:23 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God; and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already. 1Jn 2:222Jn 1:71Jn 2:182Th 2:3-8 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. Rom 8:311Jn 5:4Rom 8:371Jn 4:161Co 2:12Rom 8:10-111Jn 5:19Eph 6:12-13 They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 1Jn 4:201Jn 4:81Pe 1:221Jn 2:10Gal 5:221Th 4:9-102Ti 1:71Jn 4:12 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love. 1Jn 4:161Jn 4:7Psa 86:152Co 13:11Psa 86:5Eph 2:4Exo 34:6-71Jn 1:5 By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born 1 Son into the world that we might live through him.
