How should we measure teachings and doctrines according to the Bible?

In Revelation 11, the directive to measure the temple and altar emphasizes the importance of truth in the Christian life. Believers are called to assess every teaching, doctrine, and ministry against the infallible standard of Scripture—the Word of God. This principle aligns with the Bereans' approach in Acts 17:11, who diligently examined the Scriptures to verify the truth of Paul’s teachings. Historic Reformed theology holds that any additional revelation or teaching must align with the core truths of Scripture, consisting of the Law, the Gospel, and the Righteousness of God, serving as the measuring rod against which all claims to truth are evaluated.
