16 All Scripture is [a]inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for [b]training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:16)
Are you in good form or do you feel out of shape? I mean spiritually out of shape?
The first time I heard the word, “doctrine”, I was in Church. I did not know what it meant. We did not have e-tablets or phones that provide instant definitions so I went home and looked it up in the dictionary. By the way, it is good to keep a good old-fashioned dictionary in your library.
Anyway I learned that doctrine is teaching and the purpose of teaching is to inform, as in, “bring us in form”. Stated another way, its purpose is to enlighten us, lift us and straighten things out bringing us into proper form.
Bible doctrine contans the keys to life.
