What should Christians do about false teachings?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should reject false teachings and seek to proclaim the truth of the finished work of Christ.

Believers are called to be discerning and vigilant against false teachings that threaten to distort the gospel. John cautions that many false prophets have gone out into the world with messages that lead away from the grace of God. In response, Christians should actively test the teachings they encounter by God's Word, recognizing that any doctrine that requires addition to Christ's finished work is a false gospel. For instance, teachings that affirm salvation through works are to be rejected as they detract from the sufficiency of Christ's redemptive work. By holding fast to the truth of the gospel, believers can find assurance and hope in Christ alone.
