How do we know discerning good and evil is important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Discerning good and evil is vital for Christians to navigate life according to God's will and to grow spiritually.
The ability to discern good and evil is crucial for Christians as it affects both personal conduct and communal fellowship. In 1 Corinthians 2:14, Paul emphasizes that the natural man cannot understand spiritual things because they are spiritually discerned. This means that without the Spirit's guidance and the exercise of spiritual senses, believers may fall prey to deception, including false teachings. Therefore, Christians must actively cultivate these spiritual senses through engagement with Scripture, prayer, and spiritual fellowship in order to consistently separate truth from error and to live lives that honor God.
