How to Discern Truth from Religious Tradition

What’s in the Video? How to Discern Truth from Religious Tradition
🔹 Introduction – Why it's essential to test traditions against God's Word to ensure they align with biblical truth.
🔹 1. Check Everything Against Scripture – The Bible is the final authority (John 17:17). If a tradition contradicts it, it must be reconsidered.
🔹 2. Distinguish Man-Made Rules from God’s Commandments – Jesus warned against elevating human traditions above God's Word (Matthew 15:9).
🔹 3. Ask, ‘What Does the Bible Say?’ – Traditions should always be tested against Scripture, not blindly followed.
🔹 4. Seek the Holy Spirit’s Guidance – The Spirit leads believers into all truth (John 16:13). Pray for wisdom in discerning truth from tradition.
🔹 5. Tradition Can Never Replace Truth – If a tradition contradicts Scripture, it must be set aside. God's Word is the ultimate standard.
