1 John: Because Christ Is Real, We Know Who to Follow
Who should we trust?
In a world filled with opinions, influencers, teachers, podcasts, videos, and competing voices, John tells us not to believe every spirit but to test them.
In this week's message from 1 John 4:1–6, we return to our original question: "Will the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up?" How do we recognize what is true and who is worth following?
John offers two tests. First, those who truly speak for God proclaim that Jesus is the Christ—the One through whom God has revealed Himself and brought salvation and restoration to the world. Second, their lives increasingly reflect the love of Jesus.
This does not mean perfection. It does not mean we never partner with or learn from people who believe differently than we do. But it does mean we are thoughtful about whose voices shape us and whose lives we imitate.
As summer begins, we end with a simple challenge: How can we trust Christ more deeply? And how can we better love the people God has placed in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities?
