Hebrews 5:14

Developing Spiritual Discernment

Discernment grows as believers practice applying biblical truth.

Teaching

Discernment is the ability to recognize what agrees with God’s truth and what does not. It develops through Scripture, prayer, experience, and correction.

Strong feelings are not always reliable guidance. We need to test ideas, motives, and opportunities instead of assuming that desire equals direction.

Put It Into Practice

Take a current choice and ask three questions: Is it biblical? Is it wise? What fruit is it likely to produce?

Takeaway

Discernment grows as you know Scripture, practice obedience, and learn to recognize what produces godly fruit.
