Truth and error (1Jn 4:1-6) Christians should examine carefully the teaching they receive, because not all teaching is correct, in spite of speakers’ claims that they are speaking by God’s Spirit. Wrong teaching about Christ may please those who do not want to believe that the Son of God is also a real man, but such teaching is from the devil (1Jn 4:1-3).

There is no need for Christians to fear the false teachers, because those in whom God dwells can overcome those in whom Satan dwells (1Jn 4:4).

There will always be some people who listen to false teachers, because those with worldly minds like to listen to worldly ideas. God’s people would rather listen to his truth (1Jn 4:5-6).
