In 1 John 4:1–3, we’re reminded that not every message we hear comes from God. We are called to test the spirits—measuring every teaching against the truth of Jesus Christ. The true Spirit leads us to confess Jesus as fully God and fully man, while false voices distort or deny Him. This passage challenges us to stay rooted in truth, discerning what is from God and what is not in a world full of competing voices.
In 2 Corinthians 13:5, the Apostle Paul gives a sober and loving command: “Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith.” This is not a call to fear or self-doubt—but to honest reflection and genuine assurance rooted in Christ. This message calls us away from surface-level Christianity and toward a faith that is tested, proven, and grounded in Jesus Christ.
