So Is It From God?

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God . . . (1 John 4:1-3)

Those who work for the U.S. Mint know what an original bill looks like. They do not need to see a counterfiet! They study the authentic bill to know it througuh and through. When a counterfeit bill is presented, they notice it not the authentic copy. This is how we must be with God's Word. Believers need to study the Word of God and know where to go to prove what they hear is correct. We simply cannot believe anything we hear just because it sounds good.

So is it from God? We must know the original!
