Why is it important for Christians to discern true from false comfort?

The sermon stresses the necessity for believers to be cautious of those who provide counsel not grounded in the gospel. Job's friends, despite their intentions, misrepresented God's workings in his life, ultimately giving counsel that was troublesome rather than comforting. Galatians 1:6 warns against those who would pervert the gospel of Christ, reminding us that comfort must align with biblical truths. This discernment protects the fragile soul of a believer in distress, leading them toward true healing found solely in Christ rather than human wisdom or empty speculation.
