Nowhere in Scripture do we find doctrine studied for its own sake or in isolation from life.
-
When Jesus invites sinners, 'Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,' he immediately adds,'take my yoke upon you, and learn from me' (Matt. 11:28-29). To come to him includes taking his yoke upon us, being subject to his direction and guidance, learning from him and being obedient to him. If we are unwilling to make such a commitment, then we have not truly placed our trust in him.

-
God's faithfulness means that God will always do what He said and fulfill what He has promised.
