In this 9-part series, Michael Youssef walks through the first letter of John to share how life is only at its best through the salvation of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

In this urgent message from 1 John 4:1–12, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that the Church today is distracted by sawdust while Satan steals the wheelbarrow. False teachers, watered-down preaching, and worldly thinking have infiltrated the Body of Christ—because believers have stopped testing the spirits by the standard of God’s Word. John commands us to measure every message by this one Truth: Jesus Christ is God in the flesh—the only way to the Father. Anything less is the spirit of Antichrist. But for the child of God, there is victory: He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. If you belong to Christ, you have the divine power to stand, to discern, and to love—even your enemies.
