1 | The Importance of Doctrine | Titus 2:1 | DocTrinsograce | 163951 | ||
"If the words of the apostle Paul are not themselves enough to convince of the necessity of doctrinal teaching and understanding, then listen to the words of Jesus Christ: 'And He was teaching them many things in parables and was saying to them in His teaching.' While Jesus severally condemns the Pharisees, He does not condemn the teaching of doctrine, only the teaching of FALSE doctrine: 'The teaching as doctrine the precepts of men.' To discern the difference between doctrine that is from the word of God from those that are merely the precepts of men, one must have a knowledge and understanding of biblical doctrine. To this end, was a large part of our Lord’s earthly ministry; so much so that He often warn that those who did not abide in his teaching would perish. "The so-called Great Commission of Christ presupposes the teaching of doctrine: 'Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit TEACHING them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age' (Mt. 28:19-20). Christ commanded His people to disciple the nations. There is no other way to disciple one in Christianity then by the teaching of Christian doctrine. "To those who pride themselves on the fact that they have 'No creed, just Christ,' or 'I am just a simple Christian, I believe just the Bible' I ask: Who is Jesus? Do you believe that Jesus is God come in the flesh? Then you believe in the doctrine of the incarnation of Christ. Do you believe that Christ paid the price for your sin? Then you believe the doctrine of the atonement. Do you believe that Jesus rose again from the dead? Then you believe the doctrine of the resurrection. Do you believe that we are saved by faith alone? Then you believe in the doctrine of justification by faith. "Considering the emphasis Scripture places on the importance of teaching and understanding Christian doctrine, What should be the response of the Christian? The Christian should not take pride in doctrinal ignorance, but rather study and learn carefully the doctrines of the Christian faith, so that he or she may not be led astray by false doctrine." --Michael Bremmer |
