TRUTH about DOCTRINE

 

1 Timothy 1:8

King James Version

8 But we know that the law is good, 

if a man use it lawfully;


What doctrine comes from GOD?

What is sound doctrine?

What is doctrine for?

What is the difference between GOD's doctrine versus man's laws?

SPIRIT led me to these powerful verses that explain everything.


GOD's doctrine is holy.

1 Timothy 6:1

King James Version

6 Let as many servants as are under the yoke 

count their own masters worthy of all honour, 

that the name of God and his doctrine 

be not blasphemed.


It just follows GOD's doctrine is on "godliness".

1 Timothy 6:3

King James Version

3 If any man teach otherwise, 

and consent not to wholesome words, 

even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;


GOD is the Source of sound doctrine:

2 Timothy 3:16

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:


This is the purpose of GOD's doctrine:

2 Timothy 3:17

King James Version

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


GOD's doctrine was designed for sinners.

I've read many similar verses, but these two are really spot on.

My heart leapt at its precision:

1 Timothy 1:9-10

King James Version

9 Knowing this, 

that the law is not made for a righteous man, 

but for the lawless and disobedient, 

for the ungodly and for sinners, 

for unholy and profane, 

for murderers of fathers 

and murderers of mothers, 

for manslayers,

10 For whoremongers, 

for them that defile themselves with mankind, 

for menstealers, 

for liars, 

for perjured persons, 

and if there be any other thing 

that is contrary to sound doctrine;


That's why JESUS came down from heaven.

To save us sinners.

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save 

that which was lost.


John 6:37-39

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again 

at the last day.


Those who reject GOD have no idea how much He loves us.

He sent His only begotten Son.

That we may have eternal life.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.


Only the true born again can really understand GOD's doctrine.

He lives for it.

SPIRIT teaches him about it.
