Theology to Doxology

"Make every effort, to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love" (2 Peter 1: 5-8).

Truth is not an opinion. The Word of God is Truth. I'm realizing more and more that what I think it says makes no difference, what I want it to say makes no difference--but that what it does say, in fact, makes all the difference. God commands that no one "add to it or take from it".

Understanding and loving the truth in the Bible is not merely a privelage or a job for a Pastor or Theologian. We are each called to personally know God! And knowing comes from hearing His Word...the Bible.

So that, by the power of the Holy Spirit we "may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God" (Eph 3: 18,19).

Christian, keep watch, because there are false gospels: (video--see original post)


There is absolute truth, and it is objective, not subjective. Let us fight for this, the Gospel of Jesus Christ! We are to "contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3)



We are all called as Christians to be students of the word, lovers of Truth.
We are all called as Christians to contend for this Truth.

And above all, this knowledge of the truth, "theology"... is meant to lead us into a "doxology".

That our joy is not in the knowledge itself, or its pursuit.
That our joy is not in the contending itself, or its pursuit.

But that our joy of the knowledge of God brings us down to our knees in awe and in wonder of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The covenant-keeping King. Because through Christ, by grace, we know the Sovereign God! Yahweh. "I am". The one true God, the God of the Bible.

Doxology means to "ascribe glory to God". Our theology should serve no other purpose than to glorify GOD through it!



The only reason anyone exists is to the praise of God's glorious grace.
The only reason anyone is saved from hell is to the praise of God's glorious grace.

"He chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of HIS WILL, to the PRAISE OF HIS GLORIOUS GRACE" (Ephesians 1:4-6).

Therefore we must KNOW the supremacy of Christ!



For through trusting in Christ by grace through faith, God gets the Glory!



So then, let our "seeing dimly" be ever focused on worship, and "ascribing glory" to God, who indeed is worthy of praise because He sent his Son Jesus to appease the wrath of the Father, so that "whoever believes will not perish but have eternal life"!

"Theology to Doxology", Paul does this well:

Romans 11:33-36, "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen."

So let this video be our doxology:
