Let's open our Bibles to Luke 20:27-47.

1. You should care about doctrine because Jesus did.

2. You should care about doctrine because your life here depends on holding in faith to sound doctrine.

3. You should care about doctrine because your life hereafter depends on holding in faith to sound doctrine.

Our very hope of eternal life hinges on holding to sound doctrine about salvation and the promises of God regarding the life to come.
