Test the Spirits: How to Discern Truth from Deception (1 John 4:1–6 | In the Light Bible Study)

Apr 8, 2026    Pastor Scott Davis

Not everything that sounds spiritual is true.

In a world filled with voices—podcasts, influencers, teachers, and opinions—how do we know what is really from God?

Tonight, we continue our study “In the Light: A Study Through 1 John” and look at one of the most important commands for believers today:

“Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits…” — 1 John 4:1

In this message, we’ll discover:

• Why not every spiritual message is from God

• How to test what you hear against biblical truth

• The danger of false teaching—even inside the church

• Why the truth about Jesus is the ultimate test

• How believers can stand with confidence in a world full of deception

This is a message about discernment, truth, and standing firm in Christ.
