Home > Biblical Proofs > Biblical Proofs: VI. Our Responsibility

(i) We are Responsible to Prove All Things:

When salvation is offered by God, each Christian bears a responsibility to prove all things concerning His truth, regardless of the teacher or source. In a study, when biblical doctrine is researched and proven out, exercise discretion to filter out wrongful intentions, deceptions, and conclusions. Always guard the doors of your mind; do not take salvation lightly. Fight the good fight and do not let anyone steal your crown, for the devil will attempt every opportunity to introduce destructive heresies in hopes of making you falter.

Proverbs 25:2 - AFV

2.   The glory of God is to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

4.   Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Be on guard, so that no one deceives you." (C.R. Mark 13:5; Luke 21:8)

21.   Prove all things. Hold fast to that which is good.
