You can tell the Spirit of God in this way: all inspiration that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in human form comes from God, and any inspired utterance that does not acknowledge Jesus does not come from God; it is the inspiration of the Antichrist. You have heard that it was coming, and here it is already in the world.

Yet for all that, even among the leading men, many came to believe in him, but on account of the Pharisees they would not acknowledge it, for fear of being excluded from the synagogues, for they cared more for the approval of men than for the approval of God.

It is not everyone who says to me 'Lord! Lord!' who will get into the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that Day, 'Lord! Lord! Was it not in your name that we prophesied, and by your name that we drove out demons, and by your name that we did many mighty acts?' Then I will say to them plainly, 'I never knew you! Go away from me, you who do wrong!'

Therefore everyone who will acknowledge me before men I will acknowledge before my Father in heaven, but anyone who disowns me before men, I will disown before my Father in heaven.

(John testified to him and cried out??or it was he who said it??He who was to come after me is now ahead of me

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already made an agreement that if anyone acknowledged Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogues. That was why his parents said, "He is grown up; you must ask him." So they again summoned the man who had been blind, and they said to him, "Give God the praise. This man we know is a sinful man." read more.
He answered, "I do not know about his being a sinful man. All I know is that I was blind before and now I can see." They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he make you able to see?" He answered, "I have already told you and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become disciples of his too?" Then they sneered at him, and said, "You are a disciple of his yourself, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man came from." The man answered, "There is something very strange about this! You do not know where he came from, and yet he has made me able to see! We know that God does not listen to sinful people, but if a man is devout and obeys God, God will listen to him. It was never heard of in this world that anyone made a man born blind able to see. If this man were not from God, he could not do anything." They answered, "You were born in utter sin, and are you trying to teach us?" So they excluded him from the synagogue. Jesus learned that they had excluded him, and he found the man and said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" The man answered, "Who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him." Jesus said to him, "You have seen him already, and it is he who is now talking to you." And he said, "I believe, sir!" and he fell on his knees before him.

"John's baptism was a baptism in token of repentance," said Paul, "and he told the people to believe in him who was to follow him, that is, in Jesus." When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,

For if with your lips you acknowledge the message that Jesus is Lord, and with your mind you believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with their minds men believe and are made upright, and with their lips they make the acknowledgment and are saved. For the Scripture says, "No one who has faith in him will be disappointed."



Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God, and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God's love for us has been revealed in this way??hat God has sent his only Son into the world, to let us have life through him. read more.
The love consists not in our having loved God, but in his loving us and sending his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, if God has loved us so, we ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; yet if we love one another, God keeps in union with us and love for him attains perfection in our hearts. This is the way we know that we keep in union with him and he does with us??ecause he has given us some of his Spirit. We have seen and can testify that the Father has sent the Son to be Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God keeps in union with him and he with God. So we know and believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever continues to love keeps in union with God, and God with him. Love attains perfection in us, when we have perfect confidence about the Day of Judgment, because here in this world we are living as he lives. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear. For fear suggests punishment and no one who feels fear has attained perfect love. We love because he loved us first. If anyone says, "I love God," and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is the command that we get from him, that whoever loves God must love his brother also.
