Depend Only on Christ

If you are depending on others for your wisdom, then you are disobeying God. He told us to depend on Christ alone for our wisdom. We can listen to others to evaluate whether or not they may say something from the Lord, but we never should place our trust in a man, while believing everything he says.

1 John 2:26-28 "…26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27 And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught. 28 And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.…"

1 Thessalonians 5:21
"21 Test all things; hold fast what is good."

Psalm 118:8
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."

Micah 7:5
"Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms;"

Jeremiah 17:5
"Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord."
