SUNDAY MORNING (September 2nd) • "That You May Know"Test the Spirits (1 John 4:1-21)Why can Christians not afford to "believe every spirit" (4:1a)?Practically speaking, what does it mean to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God"(4:1b)?On what authority can John assert that "many false prophets have gone out into the world"(4:1c)?How would you summarize, in your own words, what John is warning about and prescribing in4:2-6?---- ~------------------- --In what way is "love from God" (4:7)?What is a "propitiation" (4:10)?"By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit" (4:13).What does this mean?What is John communicating when he writes, "By this is love perfected with us" (4:17)?Why is there "no fear in love" (4:18a)?"Whoever fears has not been perfected in love" (4:18b). In what way?
