The Attributes of God in Jesus Christ

The normal enterprise of Theologythese days certainly acquiresknowledgeaboutGod. Yet, for the most part, the soul is left empty and bereft of divine life (Eph. 4:17-19). "And this islife eternal, that they mightknowThee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent."-John 17:3[Jn. 8:19.2 Thess. 1:7-10] "He that saith, IknowHim, andkeepethnot His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."-1 John 2:4 Theologians and academics have failed to put adifferencebetween acquiringknowledgeaboutGod andpersonallyknowingGod (Jn. 17:3;1 Jn. 2:4;Titus 1:16). A lack of focusedemphasis on this vital issue has poisoned countless volumes of theology to date (Matt. 7:28-29,Mk. 1:22,Lk. 4:32,Acts 4:13,2 Cor. 4:2). Consequentially, the Priests of the LORD have failed to put adifferencebetween the clean and the unclean (Lev. 10:10,11:47,20:25,Jer. 15:19,Ezek. 22:26,44:23;2 Cor. 6:14-7:1); neither have theydiscernedbetween the living and the dead (Prov. 21:16,Matt. 15:13,Eph. 2:1,Col. 2:13,1 Tim. 5:6.Rev. 3:1). This negligenceis nothing short of murder (Acts 20:26).Eternity depends upon a real and living personal encounter with the LORD (Jer. 2:12-13). UnadulteratedTheology directs the soul into a personal encounter with God at salvation and a growingknowledgeof Godcoming with sanctification as onewalkswith God in the beauties of holiness. The true utility of the word of God humbles the soul rather than puffing it up (Heb. 4:12-13,Jer. 23:29), because only humble souls doabideandwalkwith God (Ps. 138:6,Micah 6:8,Isa. 57:15,66:2). However, when and if Theology is committed into the hands of unconverted men, the divine utility of the word of God is compromised; therefore, instead of humbling the soul, "the knowledge of God" is puffing it up (Isa. 5:21). "...Knowledgepuffethup, butcharityedifieth. And if any manthinkthat heknowethany thing, heknowethnothing yet as he ought toknow. But if any manloveGod, the same isknownof Him."-1Cor. 8:1-3 www.confessionsoffaithinjesuschrist.com
