Doctrine systematizes the foundations and grounds of all Christian beliefs based on Scripture. The clear basis and direction for all aspects of the life of faith is grounded in biblical principles. For example, the reason Christians should pray is because God desires fellowship through prayer and promises to answer prayers. Without knowing these reasons and grounds, it would be difficult to recognize the need for prayer. All grounds of faith have doctrinal foundations. This will be a process of gaining clear grounds for the life of faith.
