Product Description

There is a need for systematic teaching in the church whereby believers understand the plans and purposes of God concerning eternal life. There is a need to teach the doctrines the Lord Jesus Christ has given us so that we understand the plans and purposes of God and His perfect will concerning our lives.

Biblical doctrines refer to biblical tenets of faith, what the believer of Jesus Christ believes, biblical creed, biblical rules, biblical teachings and principles.
The doctrine to a church is what foundation is to a building. Without doctrine, the church cannot stand. Doctrine is the article of faith on which the believer’s faith anchors. A believer’s steadfastness and stability in the Lord is dependent on the firm grasp of the Word of God in his life.

The Early Church understood perfectly the need to be grounded in the Word of God. They allowed the Word of God to be pre-eminent in their lives and ministries. As they embraced the truth of the doctrine of God, they experienced phenomenal growth. The truth of the doctrine brought about boldness, steadfastness and unity so that they were fearless in the midst of persecution. They were able to establish the new converts and confront the error of religious leaders because they embraced wholeheartedly the truth of the doctrine.

Today we need to hold fast the sound doctrine which God has given to us through our Lord Jesus Christ. Our faithfulness to the end depends on how much we abide in the doctrine. The salvation of our congregation depends on our understanding of the doctrine. The strength and weakness of a church depends to a great extent on the members’ attitude towards the doctrine of Jesus Christ.

We are living in perilous times. The world is full of wickedness, error and deceit. False teaching and false doctrine in the church have caused many believers to become lukewarm or backslide. It has caused many to become worldly. It’s time the church of Jesus Christ turns spiritually violent. Our main weapon of warfare is the truth embedded in the doctrine of the Word of God. A believer well-grounded in the truth will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. A believer whose faith is anchored on the sound doctrine of the Scriptures will not be tossed about by every wind of doctrine or every kind of false teaching.

The mission of the church as light to the world cannot be accomplished unless we embrace wholeheartedly the doctrine of God. A church that is ignorant cannot reach out to the world with the truth of the Word of God.

Let us unreservedly embrace the truth of the doctrine of God and not be deceived by the lies of Satan. Let us earnestly hold fast the doctrine which God has given us through our Lord Jesus Christ so that we will not be manipulated by the teachings of false teachers who distort the Word of God for their self-aggrandisement. Let us stand firm on the truth of the Word of God for it’s the truth that sets us free. Let us be firmly established in the doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ so that we will be totally fulfilled in every aspect of our lives and be thoroughly equipped to do what God has called us to do.
