The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. (Psalm 12:6 & 7) ............ For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. (Psalm 119:89).............. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. (Psalm 138:2)................ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16) ................ Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (Proverbs 30:5)


Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1



Preface

Over the years certain Scriptures in the Holy Bible have become so mystified to the extent that they have come to possess some form of magical power. Such Scriptures have become so commonly quoted by Christians in certain situation and they think that the recipients would receive help and comfort in times of need. One such verse from the Holy Bible is the second part of 1 John 4:4. No doubt those Christians who quote such Scripture to offer help to others are sincere and they genuinely believe that they are trying to help. Unfortunately when Scriptures are taken out of context, they do more harm than good and sometimes they even result in disastrous consequences. The purpose of this sermon is to correct the misconception of 1 John 4:4 and show how the misapplication of this verse is of no help at all to those who are supposed to receive help and comfort. May the Lord bless the reading and diligent studying of God's Holy words!
