HOW DO WE DO IT?

My Friday post was about BEAUTIFUL DOCTRINE. The Bible also tells us what we are to do about this beautiful doctrine.

 
1. WE MUST ABIDE IN THE DOCTRINE (2 John 1:9).
That means to live in it.
 
2. WE MUST CONTINUE STEADFASTLY IN THE DOCTRINE (Acts 2:42 and 1 Timothy 4:16).
We don’t just read about it but make it part of our lives. We don’t do it for a day and give up but persistently keep on each new day.
 
3. WE MUST TAKE HEED TO THE DOCTRINE (1 Timothy 4:16 and Titus 1:9).
We pay close attention to what we are to do.
 
4. WE MUST HOLD FAST TO THE DOCTRINE (Titus 1:9).
 
5. WE MUST DEVOTE OURSELVES TO THE DOCCTRINE (1 Timothy 4:13 and 5:17).
For how long do we devote ourselves? This Scripture says until the Lord comes!
 
6. GOOD WORKS ARE PART OF DOCTRINE (Titus 2:7).
 
7. MIRACLES AND HEALING ARE PART OF DOCTRINE (Matthew 9:35; Luke 4:31, 32; and 5:17).
 
8. WE MUST ADORN THE DOCTRINE (Titus 2:10).
 
That means we are to wear it. We put it on each new day. We will talk more about adorning the doctrine tomorrow.
 
Remember, all the above exhortations ae not some airy fairy things in the sky. No, they are down to earth. God calls sound doctrine embracing the nitty gritty of life—caring for our little ones, managing the home, doing the dishes and laundry, even doing the same thing day after day. You may not feel you are accomplishing great things but remember that little things add up to great things. Faithfulness in little things ends up with responsibility for greater things.
We reveal what beautiful doctrine is like when we plod on daily loving our husband, loving our children, and loving our home.
 
Be blessed today,
