Scrutiny Is Necessary
As Paul concludes His letter to the young congregation in Thessalonica, he addresses this very thing.
What should the Christians there believe and how were they to determine those things?
We are no different today.
We must still determine what we are to believe and what we are to reject, because one day we will all stand before the judgment seat of our Lord so that each one of us may receive what is due us for the things we have done while we lived here on this earth, whether good or bad (2 Corinthians 5:10).
