Sermon Overview
In this final installment, Reidhead examines the "Doctrinal Test" from 1 John 4 and 5. He explains that eternal life is inseparable from believing that Jesus is the Son of God come in the flesh. He warns against "spirits" that do not confess Christ, asserting that true faith is not just "believing about" Jesus, but a total reliance on Him as the only source of Life and Truth.
Key Principles
Doctrinal Test: Ensure your faith is grounded in the biblical reality of who Jesus is—the Son of God in flesh.
Spirit of Truth: Use the Word to discern between the "Spirit of Truth" and the "Spirit of Error" in modern teaching.
Receiving Testimony:Accept God’s "testimony" about His Son as a settled legal fact for your soul.
Knowing to Doing: Realize that true "knowing" always results in "doing"; if there is no action, there is no life.
Receiving Testimony:Accept God’s "legal testimony" about His Son as the only valid foundation for your trust.
Internal Witness: Rely on the Holy Spirit’s "shorthand" confirmation within your soul rather than human logic.
Knowing to Doing:Realize that true spiritual "knowing" must result in practical "doing" to be considered valid.
Final Appeal: Answer the ultimate question: "Is the literal life of God residing within your personality?"
