Every Christian should know the wonderful doctrine of salvation that is contained in the Bible.
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
The Word Doctrine means teaching or instruction. We as believers in Jesus Christ should know the fundamental teachings of our faith.
Remember in Luke 2 the Angel of the Lord announced the GOOD NEWS of salvation to the shepherds out in the fields.
A Saviour had been born at Bethlehem, because mankind's greatest need is salvation.
