If you were a detective solving a crime, you would need to look at all the evidence and consider all the witness testimony. If one of the witnesses was lying and you depended on their testimony, you might draw the wrong conclusion and arrest the wrong person. If you found fibers of animal fur at the crime scene, you might think an animal attack happened. But what if the criminal was wearing a fur coat?
God's word is reliable. His testimony is good and true. You can trust it. But, you must be certain to interpret it correctly. You must know Him and His character. You must consider the context of what you are reading. Discernment and understanding are not always easy. But we have a helper in the Holy Spirit. All we need to do is ask, listen, and search the Scriptures to ensure we are hearing correctly.
