Doctrine. [2 Timothy 3 v16-17 ]

In Proverbs 4v2[av] we read,/For I give you good doctrine,forsake ye not my law/.When it comes to doctrine, many dont appreciate its importance, and yet it is vital, it defines what we believe, and what we believe is vital.Let no one tell you doctrine is not important, for if we believe the wrong things, we can go to hell, we can lead others astray, and we may begin to do things that are sinful. Doctrine is not just for spiritual eggheads , no, it is for all believers, to consider what they believe. God has given us good doctrine in His word, any doctrine that is not in keeping with Gods word must be rejected. Biblical doctrine reveals Christ to us,it reveals His person, His work of salvation,it reveals that through Him ,we can be forgiven,and recieve eternal life. It tell us, that we cannot be saved by good works of any description,it tells us that we sinners, can be reconciled to God.[ Dear God thank You that You have given us good doctrine, Your truth, revealed to us in Your word,help us by faith to embrace all of your truth, and to proclaim it and to live by it, in Jesus name Amen.]
