1 John 4:1• 1Beloved, 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)
• Hearts free to find the good in people. Jesus could find the least bit of grace in a poor soul; His heart was ever ready to enjoy it; " I have meat to eat that ye know not of "; " Mary hath chosen that good part "; " Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile." There is always this perception when the heart is kept free to enjoy the fruit of the Spirit in others, as being occupied with what is good! (“His Praise Shall Continually Be in My Mouth” by J.N. Darby)
• This is an all-important command. We may be occupied with evil in order to condemn it; we may be right, but this is not communion with God in that which is good. (“Philippians 4” by J.N. Darby)
• If our thoughts were controlled by the Spirit of God would they not be occupied with, and delighting in, all those blessed things which were seen in perfection in Christ? (“Philippians 4” by H. Smith)
