How should Christians exercise their private judgment?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should actively engage with Scripture, comparing every teaching to the Word of God.

Christians are called to exercise their private judgment by diligently engaging with Scripture. This entails a sincere and prayerful study of the Bible, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide their understanding. They should compare any teaching or doctrine presented with biblical truth, ensuring alignment with the Gospel. As Paul encouraged in 1 Thessalonians 5:21, proving all things helps believers to maintain a clear understanding of sound doctrine, guiding them away from falsehood and into the fullness of truth.
