If you’re new in Christ, praise God! You’ve begun the greatest journey of your life. As you grow, remember this vital truth: not everyone who teaches about God speaks for Him. Scripture itself warns,
The Bereans were praised because they “searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11). Do the same:
Jesus said His sheep hear His voice (John 10:27). You’ll recognize it when you stay close to His Word.
Root yourself in Scripture, and you’ll never be shaken by false teachers or shifting trends.
Grace and peace in Christ.
“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 KJV)
That’s why you must measure everything you hear, read, or watch against the Word of God. Pastors, authors, YouTubers, and even well-meaning friends can be mistaken—but the Bible is never wrong.The Bereans were praised because they “searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11). Do the same:
- Read the Bible for yourself.
- Test every doctrine by Scripture in context.
- Hold fast to what aligns with Christ’s gospel of grace (Galatians 1:8–9).
- Stay humble and teachable, but anchored in truth.
Jesus said His sheep hear His voice (John 10:27). You’ll recognize it when you stay close to His Word.

Grace and peace in Christ.
