Luke 1:1 (KJV) He Wrote History

Luke 1:1 (KJV)
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

I saw today that when Luke took in hand to declare those things believed by Christians he did not write

• a statement of faith 
• a creed or 
• a confession

he wrote a history.

We have two books of the New Testament written by Luke:

• Each is inspired of God
• Each is written to Theophilus
• Each is historical in content

I am not opposed to confessions and statements of faith; the epistles of the Bible can be viewed as doctrinal rather than historical in content. What I am pointing out is that a great way to share doctrine is by telling the life story of Christ and His churches.

It may not be the place to finish but it is for sure a great place to start.
