Viewpoint of the world

Viewpoint of the World – 1 John 4:4-6

They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world and the world listens to them.  

1.  John talks candidly and honestly about false spirits and teachers.  They are of the World.  Their info, reasoning processes, thoughts, attitudes, priorities, philosophy and words are from the world.

2.  They speak from the viewpoint of the world.  Their logic, point of view is from man’s ideas and concepts.  North America has over 350 cults who based their beliefs on the Bible.  

3.  They world will listen to them.  All world religions have moral truth to them.  They also appeal to mankind because everyone of them allows men to work their way to Heaven. Christianity is different because it is clear that Jesus Christ is the only way to God and that accepted of His provision is the only condition for heaven.  Man cannot

work his way to heaven or merit acceptance through some sacrifice or great work.  You must accept Jesus and received it by faith.
