The purpose of Theology


“We should never forget that the purpose of theology is doxology; we study in order to praise.  
The truest expression of trust in God will always be worship to praise God for being greater than we know.”            —  Geneva Study Bible note

Knowing about the Lord is pointless without worship and praise. After all, the Devil knows far more about God than we do, and yet this knowledge gives him no benefit because he refuses to bow the knee in humble adoration (James 2:19). 
Let us continually ask ourselves whether our study of theology is making us more arrogant and eager to pick fights with those less knowledgeable, or if it is making us worship the Lord in humility.
