How do we know if a prophet is true?

Answered in 1 source

A true prophet speaks according to God's Word, and their prophecies come to pass.

According to Scripture, a prophet of God can be identified by their adherence to God's Word and the fulfillment of their prophecies. In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul warns against false prophets, explaining that if a prophet speaks something that does not come to pass, they are not from God. This standard is essential for recognizing genuine prophecy and ensures that believers are not led astray by those who merely have the gift of oratory without divine confirmation. Thus, the foundations of true prophecy rest upon the unwavering truth of God's Word and the evidence of its fulfillment.
