That is true, Aspen. You can know the Bible yet not know Christ. I think you will like this quote.
"The Christian...life is dynamic. Each situation, like each person, is novel. The command of God is not a general rule, or collection of rules. It is always particular for a person at this moment, in this situation. In the unity recovered through grace, in the union with God, we are in the presence of quite a different ethical orientation. It can only be lived in Christ. There is no Christian life without the action of the Holy Spirit, without His inspiration and guidance. The necessity for God's intervening to guide our lives puts an end to our pretending to erect a Christian morality. Christian living does not exist as a morality; for he who lives it, lives by it. He does not follow commandments nor achieve objectives. He lives by the word of God which nourishes him, guides him, and carries him. There is not one Christian life. There are as many Christian lives as there are Christians. One lives in ever-surprising novelty. (Jacques Ellul - To Will and To Do. Pilgrim Press. 1969. pg. 201-219)

Loving God and loving ones neighbour is doctrine. Grace is not law, thats correct doctrine as well.aspen2 said:
There are all kinds of ideas about what love is, without the correct doctrine on what love is one might not be loving God.
He will then bless, enhance, prosper and save the life that you are living in this world. ... Its spiritual
Ephesians 1:3 [ Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ ] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
It is not wrong to pray for blessing of material things, God will provide what we need, not what we want.

It sure is. It is the doctrine of Christ.
2Jn_1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
