How do we know if a teaching comes from God or is from Satan?

Answered in 1 source

We discern between God's truth and Satan's deception by examining if it brings honor and glory to God (2 Corinthians 11:14).

To distinguish whether a teaching is from God or a deceptive ploy by Satan, we can ask whether it brings honor and glory to God. This requires a close examination of the message in light of Scripture. If a teaching leads us to exalt ourselves or contradicts the clear commands of God, it is likely influenced by Satan's deceitful tactics, who often masquerades as an angel of light. The true light, the Lord Jesus Christ, directs us toward humility and obedience, offering the only secure path to spiritual truth (John 8:12). By relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit and adhering closely to Scripture, we can confidently navigate the challenges posed by false teachings.
