Why is it important for Christians to discern spiritual truths?

Understanding and discerning spiritual truths are crucial for Christians in living out their faith authentically. It empowers believers to recognize the reality of sin, the necessity of salvation through Christ, and the implications of the Gospel in their lives. As the sermon illustrates, many may hear the Gospel but fail to comprehend its truth due to the natural enmity towards God. Thus, discerning these spiritual realities is pivotal for not only personal assurance of faith but also in bearing witness to others, as it acknowledges the need for grace and the urgency of reconciliation with God.
