Testing Revival Claims by God’s Word

from Contending for the Word Q&A Hosted by Dave Jenkins

Christians must evaluate claims of revival by Scripture. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains why crowds, emotions, and miracle claims cannot establish that a movement is from God. Drawing on 1 John 4:1 and Acts 17:11, he outlines four principles for biblical discernment: submit to God's Word, look for Christ-centered teaching, examine lasting spiritual fruit, and exercise patience. True revival magnifies Christ, proclaims the gospel, and produces repentance and obedience.
