Every
Christian must know and defend 3 things
·
The Gospel
·
Doctrine (teaching, beliefs, precepts)
·
Christian life (lifestyle, worldview)
Side note
All
Christians need to know what the Gospel is, our teachings are, and
our way of life. These have been given to us in the New Testament, by
the Lord Jesus, Jesus’s Apostles, and prophets. I just have a few
topics here for a start. We are all responsible to study the
Scriptures.
I have not
covered everything or a defense of the faith, which you will have to
find elsewhere. For doctrine, I am briefly covering the attributes of
our God, Yahweh. For a Christian worldview, I am only giving a few
thoughts on its necessity.
Sometimes I
have a question or two for you to ponder.
For my
studies, I used the Bible in many different translations. For general
reading, I recommend New Living Translation, Good News Translation,
and God’s Word. For more serious study, I use Modern English
Version, My own translation (WEL), New American Standard, New King
James, New Revised Standard Version, New International Version,
Young’s Literal Version, and Pickering New Testament. For Greek, I
use the Byzantine Text (the Majority Text) mainly. Other books I used
are Dictionary of Bible Themes by Manser, Nave’s Topical Bible,
Thompson Chain References, Torrey’s New Topical Textbook. For
electric Bible Software I use e-Sword, theWord, and Bible Analyzer 5.
My main online study Bible is Blue Letter Bible.
It is so very
important to know what we believe and why. We have a reasonable
faith. We have answers. The Lord Jesus does not change; He gave us
the Gospel and the teaching we need to know what He believes and what
He expects from us in living the Christian life.
May
God bless your study.
