Chapter four. First John. Chapter four. The first epistle in general
of John. Chapter four. I want to read verse six with
you. And then we will carefully look
at The first six verses, all of
them. But looking at verse six, John says, 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." Pretty bold statement, isn't
it? We are of God, and he that knoweth God hears us. And he
that is not of God will not hear us. Now, the Apostle John called
the people to whom he was writing, my little children. my little children because of
his deep. Heartfelt love and concern for them. He felt for
them truly as he would his own child. He loved them dearly and
was concerned for them and very jealously guarded them and that
is why he warned them so. So carefully concerning false
creatures. He warned them carefully. John
was called the beloved disciple. Our Lord called him that the
disciple whom the Lord loved. I wish that was I hope that said
about me. But John it's obvious from his
writings John was a very sweet very tender man very compassionate
very. Humble in his disposition, John
would never use his own name. He never used his own name. And
I think I can hear his emotion. As he writes this letter. To
the people, it's a pistol to the people, I think I can hear
his emotion. The emotion in his voice as he
tells these people with deep concern for them and a great
sense of urgency, warning them about these false preachers and
so forth. Look at verse 1 now. He says,
Beloved, my dear brothers and sisters.
So many so-called preachers use that term so lightly, so flippantly,
so carelessly. Beloved. It comes out of their
mouths, you know, like, Well, just so quickly. But John Menning. Beloved, my dear, well-loved
brothers and sisters. He says, don't believe every
spirit. Now, the word spirit here, no
doubt, is talking about preachers. You'll see it in a moment, he's
talking about preachers, spirit. He says, don't believe every
preacher. Don't believe anyone and everyone
who calls himself a preacher. Anyone and everyone who goes
by the title of preacher, who wears the name of reverend, who
has the title, who has the position, who has a degree behind their
name, who has been ordained by some local body, who has been
voted in as a deacon. or a preacher or pastor or whatever,
or done some preaching, don't believe everybody. That's what
John has said, don't believe every preacher you hear. Just
because he's called a preacher, don't believe him. The scripture
says, let God be true and every man a liar. And the only way
any man is going to be true is when he agrees with God completely. So he says in warning them, don't
believe every preacher. He says, try them. You see that
in verse one, he says, try the preachers. Try them, whether
or not they are of God, test them, put them on trial, be skeptical
of them, be wary of them, don't believe them, be cynical towards
them. That's what he said. Why? Because many, verse one,
many false prophets are gone out into the world. Now this
was just a few short years after our Lord, and he said many already. And now we are two thousand years
nearly after our Lord, and the number now is astronomical how
many false prophets there are. Many. We better make sure we're hearing
the right one, haven't we? We better make sure that our
preacher is a true preacher sent by God. With the true message
of God, because there are many voices, many preachers. Try them,
he says. Test them. Be wary of them. Put them on trial. Well, how
do you try a preacher and his preaching? How do you try? How
can you distinguish a false one from a true one? We need to know,
don't we? How can you? How can you distinguish
a true preacher from a false one? Well, let me say this, first
of all, and turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 4 with me. 2 Corinthians chapter 4. And
let me say this, first of all. Every true preacher sent by God, every true preacher
will insist that you try him. Every true preacher will insist
that you try him look at second Corinthians four verse one Paul
says we have this ministry now. Turn on the radio turn on the
TV and every man is called a minister some even even some women. And
he says now this is my ministry my ministry my ministry that
our ministry that our how do you know he's a minister of God.
Well, Paul says, we have this ministry as we receive mercy.
We didn't take it upon ourselves. God was merciful. So we're not
going to quit. We think not. But here, here,
this characterizes our ministry. Verse two, we have renounced
the hidden things of dishonesty, shame, not walking in craftiness,
trickery, nor handling the word of God deceitfully. But by manifestation,
look at the first two, manifestation of the truth, we commend ourselves
to every man's conscience in the sight of God. Try me, Paul
would say. Try my message. Try it. And first of all, how you try
a man's preaching, try a preacher and his preaching, you try him,
number one, by the word of God. by the word of God. Isaiah 820,
to the law and to the testimony, that's talking about the Old
Testament and the New. To the law and to the testimony,
if they speak not according to my word, this word is no light
in them, don't hear them, don't hear them. In Acts chapter 17,
let me read this to you, Acts chapter 17, there were a group
of people in Berea, a town called Berea, and the scriptures call
these people more noble than other people. They were wiser,
they were more considerate, they were more intelligent, they were
more noble in this sense. In verses 10 and 11, the brethren
went to Berea. And coming to the synagogue of
the Jews, these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, because
when they received the word, they received it with all readiness
of mind. But they went home and searched the Scriptures daily,
whether these things were so. They didn't just take a man's
word for it. They got them a Bible. And they went home and they said,
Now this is what he said that God said. And I'm going to find
out if that's what God said. And they got their Bible out
and they searched it and they said, Yeah, that's what it said. That man must be of God. I'll
hear him. And that's what we must do. Take
no man's word for it. Take only God's word for it. Compare Scriptures with Scripture.
Don't listen to one verse out of a man's mouth, and he closes
the Bible and begins to use it as a prop. Don't listen to it. My pastor always says preachers
today have versitis. Hear a verse, there a verse.
Preach in context. Preach expositionally. Preach
verse by verse, line upon line, line upon line, precept upon
precept, precept upon precept. The Word of God speaks for itself.
How many times we've looked at it together and I thought, talking
to you, some of you men, I said, I think I'll preach on that.
And I've said it preaches itself. Who couldn't preach from that?
It preaches itself. Word after word, verse by verse,
verse by verse, try him, try that man by the Word of God,
by the Word of God, comparing scriptures with scripture, comparing
the Old Testament with the New. This is what the apostles did,
didn't they? Whenever the apostles said something,
they said, they quoted scripture to back it up. What scripture?
Old Testament. He said, as it is written, that
it might be fulfilled. Thus saith the Scripture, quote
in the Old Testament. And I've said this many times,
in order to properly understand the New Testament, you have to
understand something of the Old. In order to really know the true
and living God of the New Testament, you have to understand the God
of the Old, because he doesn't change, you see. He's the same
God yesterday. and today and forever, so the
same God in the Old Testament, the same God in the New. You
can't change it. There's no different dispensation
or way that God deals with people. No, same God, same God. Men are the same. Salvation is
the same. Men were saved in the Old Testament,
same way they are in the New. Look into Christ. The Old Testament
looked to a Christ who was coming. People in the gospel in the day
Christ was here looked to the Christ who was there. We look
back to or up to a Christ who is on the throne of God. So don't take any man's word
for it. And notice I said, try him by the Scripture. It ought to
go without saying that if the him is a her, Then write him
off, her off, it off. Write him off. The Scriptures
are so very clear, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Corinthians 14, said it
is not permitted for a woman to speak in the church. Suffer a woman not to teach nor
to usurp authority over the man. The Scriptures are very clear,
and I'll not deal with that any further. Anyone who insists on
arguing upon that doesn't believe God's Word. OK? Secondly, try them by the word
of God, but secondly, try their message. Because, as I said this morning,
everyone claims to be preaching the Bible, don't they? And if
you go to some of these places, you will hear them preach the
Bible, Bible stories, Bible themes, Bible histories,
Bible truths. Do you know that you can preach
truths and not preach the truth? Do you know that you can preach
the Word of God and not preach the Word of God? The Word of God, that is, the
written Word of God, is all about the Word of God. Christ, the
incarnate Word of God. This is a hymn book. So if a man is not preaching
about him, he's not preaching the Bible, is he? And you know, you can preach
some good things and not preach the good news or the gospel. Well, he said some good things.
Did he talk about ruined by the fall, redeemed by the blood,
and regenerated by the Holy Spirit? No, I don't think I heard it,
but he said some good things. Then he didn't preach the gospel. Simple as that. He said some
good things, some things we need to hear. Did he say, did he preach
the one thing needful? Did he preach the person and
work of the Lord Jesus Christ? Huh? Verse 2. Verse 2 in our text,
1 John 4. Here's how you know. Here's how
you know the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit of God. Every spirit
that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. Every spirit that confesses Christ. That preacher that preaches Christ,
that exalts Christ, that's taken up with Christ, who says, I'm
determined not to know anything among you or be sidetracked or
taken up with anything or anybody among you, but Christ and Him
crucified. That man, that woman, that child,
in order that they might know Him, know Christ, see Christ,
believe Christ, trust Christ, be like Christ. That is the theme
of every true spirit or preacher of God. And here's how you know
the Holy Spirit of God is in that man and his ministry. They
preach dogmatically, emphatically, that Jesus Christ is come into
play. Now, obviously, this goes a lot
deeper than just believing that there was a man on the earth
named Jesus. Right? Everybody claims that. Everyone believes that. Every
so-called preacher is preaching that. Jesus Christ is come in
the flesh. Every true preacher sent by God
is this. a herald, a preacher, a proclaimer
of the person and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The person
and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the words of the Apostle
Paul, whom God used more greatly, perhaps, than any other preacher,
Paul said, we are ambassadors of Christ. Who he is. Why he came. And where he is
now, ambassadors of Jesus Christ. An ambassador of Christ is like
an ambassador of a kingdom of old. He's an ambassador and a
spokesman of the King—the King—boldly, dogmatically, unabashedly proclaiming
the crown rights and sovereign rights of his King without the
slightest hesitation. proclaiming who He is, who He
is. Jesus Christ is God Almighty
in the flesh. The preexistent God came in the
flesh. Some believed it then, some didn't. Some believe now, some don't. All who do are born of All who
don't are anti-Christ. Be as subtle and deceptive and
intellectually twisted and contorted, talking about the Son of God
and his materialization. What have you? If you do not
declare that Jesus Christ is none other than God Almighty,
you are anti-Christ. Look over the page at first John
chapter five verse twenty. First John chapter five verse
twenty. And in order to. In order to verify their beliefs. The spirit of Antichrist today
has come up with all sorts of twisted translations of the Scripture. They make up their own Bible,
and they take out verses such as this. Verse 20. John says,
We know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding
that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that
is true. Even in his son, Jesus Christ,
this is, or who is, the true God and eternal life. Christ himself said in John 8,
verse 24, if you believe not that I am, you shall die in your
sin. If you believe not that Jesus
Christ is God Almighty, yes, God. Not just the son of God. But God, the creator, the ruler,
the sovereign Lord. If you believe that not, you
will die in your sins. Why? Why? Why must we believe that Jesus
Christ is God? I've said it so many times. Because
he is. Number one, because he is. But number two, why you must
believe that Jesus Christ is God is because only God can justify
us from all things, whereby we cannot be justified by the law
or our morality or whatever. Only God can justify us from
all things, and Christ justified or freely forgave those that
came to him. Those sinners that came to him,
Christ justified them. He said, Thy sins be forgiven
thee. And the Pharisees spoke up and
said, Who can forgive sins but God? Right. That's right. None can. If Jesus Christ be
not God, He spoke blasphemy when He said, Your sins are forgiven
you. Only God can forgive sin. Only
God can satisfy His holy law. Do you remember when the rich
young ruler came to Christ and said, no, good master? And Christ
said, oh, whoa, hold it right there. Why are you calling me good?
There's none good but God. As it is written, there is none
that doeth good, no, not one, there is none righteous, no,
not one, but God. None holy as our God the Scripture
says that's right. He's called the Holy One of Israel.
The Holy One of Israel God in flesh came to fulfill the righteousness
of the law and to make his sinless soul a substitute or sacrifice
for sin. Number three only God only God
is to be worshiped. Listen to me now. Only God is
to be worshipped. I'm not trying to just prove
a point here. I'm trying to extol and proclaim that Jesus Christ
is God. In the face of a wicked and perverse
generation, an unbelieving generation, an idolatrous, blasphemous generation
that insists we have sects, cults, and denominations that absolutely
insist and go door to door with this heresy that Jesus Christ
is not God. This is sweeping the country
by storm. So-called Mormons. The so-called
Jehovah's Witnesses, the so-called dissonant heretics. Only God is to be worshipped.
Right? Only God is to be worshipped.
Christ himself said it. He said, Thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God and him alone shall you serve. Didn't he? Well, everyone who was healed,
everyone who was saved, everyone who was confronted by the Lord
Jesus Christ fell down at his feet and worshipped him. Didn't
they? Every one of them. Did he say,
like the man over in Revelation? Do you remember the angel in
Revelation when John fell at his feet and worshipped him and
the angel said, Don't do that! Now, he was a glorious, sinless,
perfect, angelic spirit. Sinless. We could be in awe of
that one. We could be in standing amazement
at such a glorious creature as that angel. But he said, and
rightfully so, he said to John, don't you worship me. See that
you do it not. I'm one of your brethren, I'm
just in a glorified state." Worship God! Well, what did Christ say? When they came, when the leper
came down from the mountain and bowed down at his feet and worshiped
him, what did Christ say? He didn't stop him. He didn't
stop him. Thou shalt worship God. Why didn't
he stop him? Because he is God. He is God. He's Immanuel. He's Jehovah. He's the I Am. He's the I Am. And verse 3 says, And every preacher,
every witness, every door-to-door salesman that confesses not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, or he is the preexistent one,
the eternal one, that it's come and made flesh, the Word was
made flesh, Immanuel, God with us, as the Scriptures prophesied. Everyone that does not confess
that is not of God. All who do not believe this are
anti-Christ. And this is that spirit of anti-Christ. Where have you heard that it
should come? It's now, it's here. And what they do, what is going
on in the name of even the name of Christianity, and I've heard
them, they come to your door saying, I'd like to share a message
with you, with you of our, of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When they, when with their mouths
they call him Lord, but their heart is far from believing that.
They're far, they're far from believing that this Lord is the
same Lord as the one who made the heavens and earth. What they
do subtly by this is seek to denounce the Lordship of Christ,
diminish the work of Christ, dethrone the sovereign Christ,
add to or take away from the finished work of Christ. When Colossians chapter 1 verse
18 says, in all things Christ, not God, But Christ must have the preeminence,
not Jehovah. Now, I say this carefully. I'm
not saying this blasphemously. I'm just quoting Colossians 118.
That in all things, Christ must have the preeminence. Why? Because in him dwelleth
all the fullness of the Godhead in a body." How much clearer
can you get? Deny the fullness of Christ,
and you are complete if you are in him. Deny the fullness of
Christ. Christ as your all in all. Say
what you will about Jehovah, about believing in God, and this
and that and the other. You are anti-Christ. Christ said, he that is not for
me is against me. I mean one hundred percent for
me. No man has seen the Father at any time. The only begotten
Son, which is in the bosom, that is the very essence of, proceeding
from the very person of God, he alone has declared it. Verse four, you, Joe Part, Terry
Kinsley, you, and I hope a few others, you are of God, little
children. I wish we could get a hold of
the full import of that, and you've overcome them, these false
preachers. You can spot them, you can smell
them, can't you, Terry? You can spot them a mile away,
you can hear them when their piano is not tuned to middle And you've overcome what do you
have you overcome this is the victory that overcomes the world
even our faith in Christ. Can anybody convince you Christ
is not who he is there. Are you firmly persuaded that
he is able to save you. And he is who he said he is and
so he never said he was God oh yes he did. It's just that those
who say that don't know his name, he said. In John chapter eight,
he said it four times. What name is that? Moses? You
tell him I am sent you. The soldiers came, were looking
for Jesus. I am. That's his name. That's his name. God. Ever said
he was God before Abraham was? I am. Everybody that doesn't confess
that is anti-Christ. Anti-Christ. If you believe and
are sure Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the Son of the
living God, you're born of God. Now, listen to me. I've told
you this before, but you don't remember. What's the difference
between the Son of God and God? Why is He called the Son of God?
And why is there a difference? OK, I don't have a son. Let me
take you someone who does. Brother Joe has a son, has two
sons. Steve has one son, Joseph Aaron
Parks. Steve, you have a son, don't
you? Now, is he half a man? Is he
half human being? Huh? Is he just some vapor, some
mist, just some expression of you? Just some log off. I mean is he is he a person.
Is he as much a man as you are. Is he flat bone of your bones
and flesh of your flesh. He's as much Joseph Aaron Parkes
as much Stephen Parkes as Stephen Parkes is. Right. Steve Seed the very seed of Steve
and incidentally the seed And that child is very much,
as a matter of fact, it's the express image of Stephen Potter.
We hope he'll grow out of it. He's his son, but he's a man.
He's a boy now, but he'll grow in the manhood, God willing.
Right? Are we going to say someday we're
going to keep calling him the son of Stephen Park? No, we're
going to call him Joseph Aaron Park, the man, Park's man. Well, Jesus Christ is the bodily
presence of God Almighty. God's spirit. How are we going
to know God? He had to put on a body. So he
had, as it were, a son, a bodily presence. made himself God with
us," the scripture says. Call his name what, the Old Testament
says? Immanuel. Son of God with us? No, God with us. God had to put
on a robe, Job, to veil himself. No man can see God and live,
the scripture says. God is a consuming fire, so God
put on a robe. It's a body. It's called the
Son of God, the visible, fleshly, bodily manifestation of God who
is Spirit. He put on a body, but he was
the very God of very God. At times he'd peel that back,
wouldn't he? And his people see. And when he would show forth
his glory, the men who knew him, they revealed himself to such
as Thomas, would fall at his feet and say, My Lord and my
Son of God. He is the brightness of God's
glory, the express image. Adam is called the son of God.
But do you notice in Genesis when God created Adam, it says
he was created in the image of God? It doesn't say the express
image, does it? Hebrews 1 says Christ is the
express image, the very essence of it. Philippians says, he thought
it not robbery to be what with God? What? Equal. Equal with God. Equal with God. When he said, when Christ one
time said, my Father which is greater than all, and implied
that God was greater than he, you know why he said that? You
need to understand that. You know why he said that? Because
he was right then and there a man. In the body of a man. And he
said, no, God's spirit. He's above all. I've been made
a little lower than the angels even. I'm confined to a bodily
presence. But when I peel off this robe and sit on a throne,
you're going to see who I am. I'm not lesser than God. I am
God. I am God. I am. And if you believe this
and are persuaded of who he is, you're born of God. He that cometh to God must believe
he is. Who is? Christ is. All right,
verse four continues. He says, You are of God, little
children, and have overcome them because greater is he that is
in you than he that is in the world. He that is in you is greater
than he that is in the world. Who's he talking about there?
He's talking about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not talking
about Christ, he's talking about the Holy Spirit. The spirit of
God within is greater than the spirit of this world and his
ministers who have transformed themselves into angels of light. What does the spirit of God within
a man do? If a man has the Holy Spirit of God and the spirit
of God is within him, what does he do? Christ said it. In John
chapter fourteen, he says, "...the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name," not in his own, my
name, which is above everything, "...he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said to you." He said in another place, "...when the Spirit of
truth is come, he will guide you into all truth." He'll not
speak of himself. People will not be taken up with
the Holy Spirit when the Spirit is present. They'll be taken
up with me, Christ says. He will not speak of himself,
or in other words, he won't hear things, he won't speak things
of his own will and volition, his own thoughts. Whatever he
hears the Father say, he'll speak. Same way that Christ said that.
Well, what does he hear the Father say? Talk about the Son. He will
show you things to come, he shall glorify me." Not Jehovah, me, Christ said. And every spirit
who confesses, who glorifies, who exalts the Lord Jesus Christ
and him alone, that no man cometh unto the Father, but by him."
That man is born of God. That woman is born of God. That
woman, that witness, that preacher, that him. Everyone who does not
is anti-Christ. Greater is he that is in you
than he that is in the world. First John four verse five says
that the verse five they are of the world. They are of the
world therefore speak they of the world. And the world hears. Their of the world and they speak
about the world they speak about man. This this. Describes the preaching that
goes on today. They preach about man. They preach
for man. They preach a man-made message,
gospel. They preach for man's glory.
They preach about man's works, about man's will, about man's
decision, about man's righteousness, don't they? They preach of an
earthly kingdom with earthly goods, with earthly happiness,
an earthly paradise, don't they? A health and wealth gospel, a
man-centered, man-honoring, fleshly appealing message. and the world
hears them. They're beating a path to their
door. They're flocking by the thousands
to hear this message. They're filling up the coffers
and filling up the buildings of all these who are preaching
this for the world. What did Christ say about his
kingdom? It's not of this world. If it
were so, we'd be talking about it. We'd be dwelling on it. Like
these antichrists are. The kingdom. The kingdom. It's
not of this world. Verse 6. Well, we are of God. We are of God. And he that knows
God, heareth us. Now, that's about as bold a statement
as you could possibly make in there. Huh? We're of God. I'm saying that right there this
morning with the Apostle John. We, Central Baptist Church, this
preacher, this people, what is going forth from here is of God.
And whoever knows God hears us, believes this message. Can any
man preach any other gospel? Let him be accursed. We are of God. What does it mean
to be of God? It means to be only concerned
for God's glory. God's glory. It means to preach
the truth of God's word. It means to preach God's gospel. It means to worship God. It means
to know God, to commune with God, and someday be with God.
And that's why we preach God's gospel. It's called God's gospel
concerning his son. Because in the words of Isaiah
25, verse 9, it says, this is our God. We have waited for him. He will save us. This is the
Lord. We've waited for him. And we'll
rejoice and be glad in his salvation. And Paul said in Philippians
3, we're the true circumcision which worship God in spirit,
rejoice in him, the Lord Jesus Christ. This is our God. We've waited for Him. He'll save
us. This is the Lord. And we've waited for Him, and
we'll rejoice and be glad in His salvation. Whose salvation? The salvation of the Lord. What
Lord? There's only one Lord our God
here, O Israel. The Lord our God is one. Who
is He? Jesus Christ. And at the name
of Jesus, through the work of the Holy Spirit, upon you people,
some of you people. When you hear this name Jesus,
it means what it says, Savior. But at that name, you just don't
use just that name. At that name, you confess with
your mouth, and you believe in your heart, and you bow with
your knee, and you say, He's Lord, to the glory of the Father. He's Lord. He's our only hope. He's our only righteousness,
he's Jehovah Sidkenu, that's who he is. He's Jehovah, Sidkenu,
the Lord our righteousness. Paul said in Romans 10, they're
ignorant of that name. Everybody's saying it. They had
a little festival up here on a mountain called Sidkenu. Our only salvation, and although
the world doesn't meet a path to our door, And we don't have
vast, overflowing crowds. I say with John, and they didn't
beat a path to their door, they didn't have vast, overflowing
crowds. I say with John, we're of God, that he that heareth
us, heareth God. He that knoweth God, heareth
us. Tell who you want. That's what
we say. And I'll quit it. He that is
not of God won't hear us. He that is not of God heareth
not us. Heareth not us. And hereby know
we the Spirit of truth and the Spirit of air. That's how you
know. That's how you know. Here's how
we know a true preacher from a false one, a true Christian
from a false Spirit of truth. Christ is the truth. And all
of his disciples testify of him. Of him. And that's how you know
the difference between the true and the false. Does he preach? Do they preach what I preach
this morning? If any man doesn't preach what I preach this morning,
he's anti-Christ. If any man or woman or anybody
does not believe what I preach this morning, they are anti-Christ.
I can say that with absolute conviction, based upon the Word
of God. Did I say my own thoughts this morning? Did I twist or
pervert or corrupt or distort the Scriptures at all? Or did
I go verse by verse? Did we just read 1 John 4? He
that is of God, heareth us. Heareth us. He that knoweth God,
heareth us. And let me quote this in closing.
We are not as many who corrupt the Word of God. As Paul said
in 1 Thessalonians, our entrance in unto you is not vain. You
won't see my name all over the place. You won't see my name
all over the place. We're not trying to make a big
name for ourselves. We're not trying to see how many
people we can get in. We're not trying to see how much money
we can take in. The treasurer knows we need it. But we're not going through all
kinds of things to get it. trickery, and not corrupting
the word of God in order to make it palatable and pleasing to
people. But as of sincerity, we sincerely
have your soul's well-being, your eternal soul, in our minds
and our hearts. As of sincerity, as of God. That's
