The Gospel of John - Discernment

Read John 8:52-59

[The people said] “Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?” …

Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!” – John 8:52, 59 (NLT)

God is not like us. Even when Jesus came in human form, He was like us only in outward form, not in His thoughts, words, and actions. As we confront the truth of God more and more, it can be difficult to believe all of the claims of Christ. So we need discernment to distinguish the truth of God from the lies of the world, the devil, and our own desires. The only remedy is to be in the Word of God every day so we’re not easy pickings for the evil one.
