I John 4:4-6 KJV
4 Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he
that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore
speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God
heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we The
Spirit Of Truth, and the spirit of error.
The Spirit Of
Truth:
*Those
who “ are of God: he
that knoweth God heareth us;”
*Those who know and believe the “Word of God,”
*Those who “confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”
I John 4:1-3
1 Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they
are of God: because
many false
prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know
ye The Spirit Of God: Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every
spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now
already is it in the world.

I John 4:13-15
KJV
13 Hereby know
we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of
His Spirit.
14 And we have
seen and do testify that the Father sent The Son to be The
Savior Of The World.
15 Whosoever
shall confess that Jesus is The Son Of God, God dwelleth in
him, and he in God.
Matthew 10:32,33 KJV (Jesus)
32 Whosoever
therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess
also before My Father which is in heaven.
33 But
whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My
Father which is in heaven.
Luke 12:8,9 KJV
8 Also I say
unto you, Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him shall The
Son Of Man also confess before the angels of God:
9 But he that
denieth Me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Romans 10:9,10
KJV
9 That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.
10 For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation.
I John 2:22,23
KJV
22 Who is a
liar but he that denieth that Jesus is The Christ? He is antichrist,
that denieth The Father and The Son.
23 Whosoever
denieth The Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth
the Son hath The Father also.
*Those who show the “Fruits Of The Spirit,” in their lives.
I John 4:7-12
KJV
7 Beloved, let
us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is
born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that
loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was
manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His Only
Begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
10 Herein is
love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son
to be the propitiation (sacrifice)
for our sins.
11 Beloved, if
God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath
seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us,
and his love is perfected in us.
I John 4:16-21 KJV
16 And we have known and believed the love
that God hath to us. God is love;
and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is
our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of
judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no
fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in
love.
19 We love
Him, because He first loved us.
20 If a man
say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he
that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he
love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this
commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his
brother also.
Fruits of The Spirit:
Galatians
5:22,23 KJV
22 But the
fruit of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith,
23 Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.
Ephesians
5:9 KJV
(For the fruit
of The Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
How important it is to read and know the Word of God, for without it,
we have no standard of truth.
Psalm 119:105
KJV
Thy word is a
lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
John 17:17 KJV (Jesus'prayer.)
Sanctify them
through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 20:31 KJV
But these are
written, that ye might believe that Jesus is The Christ, The Son Of
God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
For the word of
God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart.
