What is Theology?
Theology is the study of God, as well as His interactions with Humanity, and His knowability. Christian theology presumes that God can be known. This not a major issue because of the Bible’s explicit telling us that God can be known.
We all make theological claims
Because of this it is of even greater importance that we know what we are talking about. The Bible reveals to us Who God is. Theological statements would not need to be studied if there was no way for us to know Who God is. We can know and we ought to know it well. We believe that God is the Sovereign Ruler of the universe, thus the way we view the universe ought to different from the way that the non-believer views the universe. With things such as hope, joy, peace, etc.
Theology as our Paradigm
The truths that we hold within our theological statement make up what is our paradigm when viewing the world. Everything we see and do ought to
be the way it is because of our beliefs about God. He is our God – We know Him personally, intimately Who He is changes who we are. How He loves changes how we love.
The End Goal of Theology
Theology leads to worship. The knowledge is nowhere near an end in itself. As we study God we begin to see images and brush strokes of a Divine Being Who loves us more than we can possibly imagine. We begin to get wrapped up in a blanket that is being hurled in a whirlwind. And that love we feel is what will change us forever. Theology leads to a growth of knowledge As we grow in knowledge we grow in worship as well
Definition of Christian: One who aligns Himself with the teachings and priorities of Jesus Christ. The hope is that as we learn more about God we will learn more about Who it is that He wants for us to be s the universe. With things such as hope, joy, peace, etc.
