How do we know our understanding of the Gospel is true?

Understanding the Gospel is confirmed through the evidence of spiritual fruit in our lives, as referenced in Matthew 13:23. Those who truly receive the Word into good ground demonstrate changes in character, a desire for spiritual growth, and the production of fruit characteristic of a life transformed by God. This fruit can include qualities such as love, joy, peace, and other attributes listed in Galatians 5:22-23. Moreover, a heart prepared by God shows a genuine concern for understanding and living according to His Word.
