How can we discern true prophets from false prophets?

The distinction between true and false prophets lies in their messages about righteousness. True prophets, as highlighted in the sermon, proclaim that Christ is the sole source of righteousness and salvation (Romans 10:1-4). In contrast, false prophets advocate a message that allows individuals to pursue righteousness through their own actions or decisions. This concept is crucial in evaluating teachings and doctrines within Christianity. We are encouraged to test what we hear against Scripture to ensure that it aligns with the centrality of Christ's redemptive work and declarations of grace. Only those who lead us to trust in Christ alone for salvation can be regarded as true prophets of God.
