Summary

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6Final Thought: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” – C.S. Lewis MERE CHRISTIANITY

0:00.0	Amen.
0:04.8	Hey, would you please stand for the reading of God's Word?
0:08.3	We've all gotten really close with Tim and his girls.
0:11.6	And part of the reason we show his testimony today is to just reaffirm to us that what you believe about Jesus matters a lot.
0:22.1	I mean, these are subjects greater than that of life and death, but for all eternity.
0:28.1	And so with that today, we are going to talk about the reality that love knows.
0:31.8	And in that, we're going to study 1 John chapter 4 verses 1 through 6.
0:35.4	Let me read it.
0:35.9	It says, Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the
0:40.1	spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
0:45.8	And by this, you know the spirit of God. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come
0:50.5	in the flesh is from God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus is not from God.
0:56.4	This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
1:02.8	And little children, you are from God and have overcome them. For he who is in you is greater than he who is in this world.
1:09.7	They are from the world. Therefore, they speak
1:11.6	from the world. And the world listens to them. We are from God. And whoever knows God listens to us.
1:18.0	And whoever does, whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this, we know the spirit of truth
1:24.0	and the spirit of error. Please pray with me. Our good and gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you for the spirit of truth that we find in your
1:30.2	word.
1:30.9	And if we love you in our very own beings and our hearts and souls, the very Holy Spirit is here.
1:36.0	God, I pray that as we unpack the reality of some of the most offensive things in the
1:43.9	claims of Christianity, God, I pray that if anybody here is offended,
