AGAINST WHAT DO WE TEST EVERY TRUTH-CLAIM? Scripture instructs us to test everything we are told to ensure that it is godly, that is not from Satan. How do we know something is from God? Because it is always true. God is always holy. That means He is without sin and never gets anything wrong. You may not like what He does or demands of you, but He never does anything wrong. Though you may not understand what He is doing, trust that He works all things together for our good, because He is good and does not lie. But Satan is the father of all lies. So, always compare God’s Word with whatever comes from any person’s mouth; if it doesn't jibe with God’s Word, toss out every part of it that is not from God! People today are not doing that, and Scripture tells us that it is because the little-“g”-god, Lucifer, is in our world blinding people’s minds, so they won't believe. How does he do that? What is his top tool? The devil gets men and women away from the one source of truth—the Bible. Whatever is presented as truth must always be compared to the Scriptures to see if it is true.
