How can Christians ensure they are trusting in the true Gospel?

To trust in the true Gospel, Christians must actively examine their beliefs and motivations against the teachings of Scripture. The Apostle Paul encourages believers to assess whether their faith is genuinely aligned with the Gospel message of Christ's death and resurrection. This involves a heart that longs for God and His glory rather than a mere acceptance of religious norms or practices. Engaging with Scripture, participating in prayer, and seeking fellowship with mature believers establishes accountability and knowledge, helping to recognize any deviations from the true Gospel which can often be influenced by societal norms or personal desires. Consistent reflection allows believers to affirm their faith rests solely on Christ's finished work, not on their own efforts.
