Knowing what you believe is good, knowing why you believe it is better.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Recently, we had an issue with a boiler at work. We trouble shot it for a while because we had a general knowledge of the system. After a bit, we starting looking for the wiring schematic on the unit. We flipped over this cover, nothing. We flipped over another cover, nothing. We finally gave up and we turned to Google. After finding the wiring schematic, we were able to trace out the flow of electricity and we found the issue.
Friend, you may have a general knowledge of Christianity. You may be doing enough to “get by”. But when the howling winds of this world get to blowing on your life, will you be able to stand? Will you be driven away from church? Will you hold on to sound doctrine, so that your Saviour’s face may be seen through your testimony? It will only be done if you know why you believe what you believe! So, get in the Word, digging deep, so you may grow, grow, grow. Because doctrine matters and Google can’t help in somethings!
