How do I evaluate the advice of others?

2 Chronicles 22:4[Members of Ahab’s family] became [Ahaziah’s] advisers . . . and they led him to ruin.

Matthew 7:16“You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act.”

2 John 1:9-10Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.

It is important to seek advice from those who love God and have a good knowledge of the Bible. When evaluating their advice, check it against the truth of God’s Word. If it contradicts the Bible, avoid it at all costs.
