Doctrine and the Bible

Doctrine is not some set of loose, unrelated ideas about spiritual matters couched in abstractness. Rather, it means the teachings of God! That in itself implies definite truth, supreme values, divine instruction coming from the absolute God. Thus, we readily note firmness, authority and finality because it is innately associated with God the absolute being.

The Hebrew term for doctrine found in the Old Testament is "lekah," which means "what is received," "the matter taught," Deut. 32:2; Job 11:4; Prov. 4:2; Isa. 29:24.

In the New Testament, doctrine is defined in a very active sense by the term "didaskalia," i.e., "the act of teaching," I Tim. 4:13, 16; 5:17; 11 Tim. 3:10-16. In another way doctrine is reflected by teaching in an authoritative manner.

Another interesting observation about doctrine in the sacred Scriptures is the fact that the doctrines of the Pharisees were a fairly compact and definite body of teaching; a fixed tradition handed down from one generation to another, Mark 7:7; Matt. 15:9; 16:12. In contrast to the Pharisaic system, the teaching of Jesus was unconventional, and somewhat unsystematic as He taught in the lyceum style on occasions. His words were not only potent and valuable, but the truth He personified, systematized itself into a work of doctrine out of His character. The power of His doctrine came from His divine personality. No wonder His contemporaries were astonished at it and recognized it as a new teaching. His Judaistic critics were attached to the cold law without knowing by affectionate faith from their hearts that "grace and truth" came by Jesus Christ, John 1:17.

Next, we note that the earliest doctrines taught by the Apostles in the first church at Jerusalem were basically three declarations.

First, that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, Acts 3:18; second, that He arose from the dead, Acts 1:22; and third, that personal salvation was by faith alone in His name, Acts 4:12. An analysis of Peter and Paul's preaching, as recorded in the Acts of the Holy Spirit through the Apostles in the early church, reveals that their sermons were saturated with the doctrines of Christ, His works, and the ministry of the Lord's church to broadcast the works of the Son of God.

In addition, we are reminded in the Pastoral Letters that a repeated emphasis is placed on doctrine, that it be sound or "healthy doctrine," I Tim. 1:10; 6:3; 11 Tim. 1:13; 4:3; Tit. 1:9; 2:1. Also, it is to be "good doctrine," I Tim. 4:6. Therefore, by the time Paul wrote the charges to Titus and Timothy, there had evidently developed a body and system of teaching or doctrines that these pastors must preach in the churches as a standard of Biblical orthodoxy and Christian fundamentals. Moreover, one can readily see why Jude pleads for a contending of the "faith which was once delivered to the saints," Jude 3.2
