1Jo 4:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6 : John concludes, We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of truth, and the spirit of error (1 John 4:6 ). People who truly know God will listen to the apostles’ teaching, but those who do not know God will not accept it. This is how we can tell the difference between the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. The real message from God will always lead people closer to God, not to the world.

‏ 1 John 4:6

v. 6: John concludes, We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of truth, and the spirit of error (1 John 4:6 ^a). People who truly know God will listen to the apostles’ teaching, but those who do not know God will not accept it. This is how we can tell the difference between the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. The real message from God will always lead people closer to God, not to the world.
