Test every spirit (and I might add test everything!) seems like a fair request both then and now. We want to follow the truth – we need to follow the truth. One surefire way to know that a spirit is trustworthy is that they confirm that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Wow, this might eliminate a whole slew of pastors and perhaps entire churches today. John, pulling from what he was saying earlier in this book, says that since he was there and knew Jesus and saw Him, that we must trust those coming with the same message. Interesting and important for us to note. Follow those who believe Jesus was real. As I have said before, this would be assumed by many hopefully (as the word, “Christian” does have “Christ” in it) but this is not the case. Be careful, test things and trust those who stand by Jesus the Christ and not some other counterfeit deity. He will always overcome!
