Biblical Theology Should Leave You in Awe of God - Dr. Lisa Harper

Main message: Theology should not be approached as mere information or a system to master, but as something that leads us to wonder, worship, and awe at God’s greatness and Christ’s nearness. If theology does not stir the heart toward the gospel, it has missed its purpose.

Key points:

• Studying theology is good, but not if the motive is simply to “get everything right.”
• God is both transcendent and imminent: vast, glorious, and beyond our intellect, yet present in Christ.
• Christ embodies God’s nearness and carries the weight of human hurt and heartache.
• True biblical theology should quicken the heart and renew wonder at the gospel.
• Theology that does not move us spiritually is just noise, systems, or academia.
