How do you test the spirits when you are unsure if something is good? We examine the biblical standard for discerning true fruit.
We often assume that if something feels harmless, it must be acceptable. But scripture teaches that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. In this study, we look at the standard of holiness required for the Christian walk and why we must move beyond our own preferences to evaluate the things we allow into our lives. If the output of your entertainment does not glorify God, it is time to reconsider the inputs.
Everything in our lives is either producing fruit that aligns with the kingdom or it is not. We break down the necessity of testing the spirits against the word of God rather than cultural standards. By applying this biblical fruit of the tree test, you can identify what is truly edifying and what serves as a distraction from your devotion to Christ.
