Testing the Spirits - 1 John
Who is to test the spirits? Why? Consider also 1 Corinthians 14:29 and 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21.
What is the difference between the spirit of error and the spirit of truth?
What truths are we reminded of in verse 4? How do, or should, those affect your daily life?
Who do you listen to most often? Friends? Podcasts? Someone else? How do you practically discern the messages you hear from those people?
How do you need to grow in your ability to discern truth and “test the spirits”? If you’re unsure, consider taking some time with another person or two to study “Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds” by Jen Wilkin.
