In which New Testament book are believers instructed to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God"?

Correct Answer

D) 1 John

In 1 John 4:1, believers are instructed, "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." This instruction emphasizes the importance of spiritual discernment, urging Christians to carefully evaluate teachings and messages to ensure they align with God's truth. This echoes the theme of 1 Peter 5:8, which warns about the adversary seeking to deceive believers, highlighting the need for constant vigilance and discernment in our faith journey.
