It is very important for us as Christians to not idolise our own doctrine. Even if we are very confident in it, and the revelations given to us, our views may still prove to be wrong or at least have errors in them (which is likely since we are human and only see in part according to 1 Cor 13v12). Our confidence and trust must be in Christ alone, for He has 20/20 vision in all things and He is the keeper of all truth. Christ alone is our rock, not doctrine by itself.
If we idolise our view of doctrine, then if we are proved wrong or at least partially wrong in the future, we are in danger of becoming offended at Christ or maybe offended by our brothers in Christ who have taught us what we believe. Both ourselves and or the enemy can use this to tempt us to leave Christ, as we may believe that Jesus doesn't know what He's talking about or that at some point what is in His Word isn't the truth. If our view of truth and the revelation of Christ and all things He's revealed is 'in part' (1 Cor 13v9) and our understanding is like that of a child (1 Cor 12v11), then we should exercise humility in the confidence we have in what we know, and think we know, about things which even an Apostle admitted were hard to understand:
2 Peter 3v16: His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Jesus always wants our confidence to be placed in Him. Yes, He wants us to know His Word, for His Word is life- but not so that we'll be confident because of our knowledge, but because of knowing Him and His ways. Allow yourself to be open to being persuaded and changing your views if the Word convinces you to do just that. Allow yourself to change your perspective on things if proved wrong or if the evidence compels you to. Allow yourself to be humbled if that is what the Lord wants, for the Lord is not ultimately concerned with how much we know about everything truth related or our confidence in what we know about disputable things, but He is ultimately concerned with how what we know makes us live, treat others, and serve and love Him.
1 Cor 13v9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
