We live in a time when biased information and deceit flood search engines, AI tools, and chatbots. These technologies amplify deception on an unprecedented scale.
Yet, God has blessed humanity with ingenuity and intelligence—the ability to create tools and technology that can either bless or harm, depending on their use.
AI, when guided by ungodly motives, can spread lies and confusion. But when used by Christians with a biblical foundation, it can serve as a powerful force for good, advancing truth and glorifying God.
The key is using what we create to honor Him, not to serve worldly or self-centered purposes.
Here are Seven Biblical Worldview Rules for AI in an Age of Deception:
- Recognize the Source of All Wisdom and Truth
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7).
AI is a tool created by human ingenuity, but true wisdom and discernment come only from God. Use AI to amplify truth but always measure its outputs against God’s unchanging Word.
- Test Everything Against Scripture
“But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
AI can generate vast amounts of information, but not all of it is true or edifying. Use biblical discernment to filter out misinformation or ideas that conflict with God’s principles.
- Guard Your Heart and Mind
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23).
AI can influence thoughts, emotions, and actions. Be vigilant about how it shapes your perspective, ensuring it aligns with a Christ-centered worldview.
- Avoid Using Technology to Further Evil
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone” (Romans 12:17).
Like any tool, AI can be used for good or evil. Reject AI uses that propagate deception, exploitation, or immorality and instead use it to glorify God.
- Seek to Advance the Kingdom of God
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).
Use AI to further God’s purposes—whether it’s spreading the Gospel, helping others, or building up the Church. Let your engagement with AI be driven by eternal goals, not worldly ambition.
- Be Aware of the Potential for Deception
“See to it that no one deceives you” (Colossians 2:8).
AI often reflects the biases and fallen values of those who program it. Stay alert to propaganda, false teachings, and anti-biblical ideologies that might be embedded within its outputs.
- Stay Rooted in Prayer and God’s Guidance
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God” (James 1:5).
Seek God’s wisdom in how you interact with and use AI. Prayer and the Holy Spirit are your best tools for navigating this age of technological complexity and deception.
Deception is everywhere—it’s infiltrating our culture, our schools, our government, and even our churches.
These verses serve as powerful reminders: we must be vigilant, discerning, and firmly anchored in the unchanging truth of God’s Word.
AI technology can amplify both truth and deception; the only safeguard is a biblical worldview.
Stay anchored in God’s Word, vigilant in discernment, and prayerful in action—using AI as a tool for His glory, not as a substitute for His truth.
Without that foundation, it’s all too easy to be led astray by lies and distortions.
