Daily Thought: Doctrines Don't Save

Doctrines do not save or transform lives.  Christ does.  Doctrines do not give specific guidance to lives.  A divine Person does.  You do not pray to a doctrine; you pray to a Person.  Merely to believe and understand a doctrine is not to experience the abundant life Christ desires for you.  In order to do that, you need to experience a Person.  The doctrine can lead you to Christ, but it can never substitute for him.
