Essential Elements And Important Faith Truths

  • Recognize that beliefs not classified as essential are still important and deserve study, time, and devotion.
  • Learn from Jesus, Apollos, and humble instruction how to pursue deeper spiritual truth with gentleness and conviction.
  • Embrace the prayer “I believe; help my unbelief” as a model for growing in faith, understanding, and humility.

This is Question #4 in Chad Ragsdale’s Christian Convictions: Discerning the Essential, Important, and Personal Elements.
