Theology masters the man; the man is never to master the theology.
Theology0I am not afraid to say that a new idea never originated at Princeton Seminary.
Theology0It appears how necessary it was that Christ the mediator should be both God & man.
For if He had not been man, He would not have been a fitting sacrifice; and if He had not been God, the sacrifice would not have been sufficient.
Marrow of TheologyHypostatic Union0Marrow of Theology
We're either building our life on the reality of what God is truly like and what he's about, or we're basing our life on our own imagination and misconceptions. We're all theologians. The question is whether we will be good theologians or bad theologians, whether what we know about God is true or false.

The will of God is eternal because He does not begin to will what before He would not nor ceases to will that which before He willed.
God's Will0Faith is a resting of the heart on God, as on the author of life and eternal salvation. That is to say, that by him we may be freed from all evil, and obtain all good.
https://www.monergism.com/faith-2Faith0For the church is a company of men that are called (1 Cor. 1:24; 10:32), both Jews and Greeks, to the Jews, to the Greeks, and to the church of God. But because the end of calling is faith, and the work of faith is engrafting into Christ, and this union with Christ does bring with it communion with Christ. Hence it is defined, in the very same sense, a company of believers, a company of those who are in Christ, a company of those that have communion with Christ.
Church0Adoption is the gracious sentence of God whereby He accepts the faithful for Christ's sake unto the dignity of sons.

The Marrow of Theology, 161Justification0The Marrow of Theology, 161
The first act of religion, therefore, concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.
Religion0should be common to the faith of every believer. The love of God reaches out to each of us individually, and no one person's experience will be exactly the same as another's. But we all have a great deal in common because we know and love the same God. Theology does not focus on us and our feelings but on God and the way he has revealed himself to us.
God is Love, 81Theology0God is Love, 81
The duty of a theologian, however, is not to tickle the ear, but confirm the conscience, by teaching what is true, certain, and useful.
Institutes, Book 1 Chapter 14Theology0Institutes, Book 1 Chapter 14
In defining theology, it is not strictly necessary to align it with a single biblical term, but it is certainly an advantage when we can do this. I propose that we define theology as synonymous with the biblical concept of teaching, with all its emphasis on edification.

Paul is inspired yet he wants books: he has been preaching nearly thirty years, yet he wants books: he has a wider experience than most people, yet he wants books: he has been caught up into heaven and heard things which it is unlawful to utter yet he wants books: he has written the major part of the New Testament, yet he wants books.
Theology0Once I was at Regent College, I said you western theologians always put theology into the refrigerator, now put it out and warm it up.
