What does the Bible say about knowing true doctrine?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that true doctrine can be known by doing God's will and seeking His glory.

In John 7:14-18, Jesus emphasizes that those who are willing to do God's will will know whether His doctrine is true or if the speaker is speaking of himself. This principle highlights the importance of aligning one's actions with faith and obedience to God. True doctrine is revealed not only through intellectual understanding but through a life lived in submission to God's will, reflecting His glory. Furthermore, discerning true doctrine involves examining who receives the glory for the teaching; if it is self-glorifying, it cannot be true. Hence, true doctrine leads to the exaltation of Christ and the glory of God's grace.
