Do You Believe? 12 Historic Doctrines to Change Your Everyday Life
Digital Logos Edition
Best-Selling Author Paul David Tripp Unpacks 12 Doctrines for Everyday Christian Living.
Doctrine—what Christians believe—directly influences how they live. The biblical truths about God, humanity, and the world are not merely about knowing more—they are also about loving God and making sense of this life and the life to come. But what happens when there is disparity between what believers confess and how they live?
In his latest book, Do You Believe?, pastor and best-selling author Paul David Tripp takes a close look at 12 core doctrines and how they engage and transform the human heart and mind. According to Tripp, “true belief is always lived.” To demonstrate, he unpacks each doctrine and presents its relevance for the Christian life. As readers explore topics such as the doctrine of God, the holiness of God, and the doctrine of Scripture, they will be fueled to fall deeper in love with and stand in awe of their Creator and Father—putting the truths of God’s word on display for all the world to see.

“The enemy of your soul will gladly give you your formal theology, if in your real daily life he can control the thoughts and motives of your heart and, in so doing, control the way you act, react, and respond.” (Page 17)
“Truth that does not form your lifestyle is probably not truth that is believed in the biblical sense of what faith actually is.” (Page 14)
“True belief always results in a willing submission to God and a joyful obedience to his calling.” (Page 26)
“The third group of people believe in the God of the Bible and, because they do, have come to God in confession, surrender, and worship.” (Page 78)
“So, what role does doctrine play? First, the doctrines of Scripture provide a helpful shorthand for the grand redemptive story. Every doctrine captures something about God, his work, and our need, allowing us to summarize vast amounts of content and historical activity in one word. For example, the doctrine of justification captures a set of things that God did to secure our right standing with him. Because of this doctrine we have a summary term to use when speaking of God’s grace that is shorthand for all the things God did to secure our position as his children.” (Page 20)
