How do we know the doctrines of the faith are true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of Christian doctrines is evidenced by their alignment with Scripture and their capacity to produce spiritual fruit in believers' lives.

The truth of Christian doctrines is grounded in the authority of Scripture, where we find the teachings of Christ and the apostles laid out clearly. Additionally, the effectiveness of these doctrines in the lives of believers serves as a practical confirmation of their truth. The faithful proclamation of the word by preachers, coupled with the work of the Holy Spirit, leads to genuine life change and the fruit of the Spirit, providing empirical evidence that doctrines such as grace, repentance, and faith are not merely abstract concepts but are transformational realities. As such, the doctrines that encourage believers to bear fruit are validated through their lived experience and the ongoing work of God in their hearts.
