How do we know true doctrine is true?

Answered in 1 source

True doctrine aligns with Scripture and is proven through the fruits it produces in our lives.

The authenticity of doctrine can be discerned by examining its alignment with the truth of Scripture and the spiritual fruit it produces. Jesus teaches that every tree is known by its fruit (Luke 6:44), implying that genuine beliefs should manifest in a believer's life through actions and character. Therefore, one must observe the outputs of their own life—repentance, faith, and holy living—as indicators of the soundness of their faith.
