Engaging Theology

If someone struggles with obedience to Christ, this demonstrates not only a weak will but a deficient theology about who God is and how he acts. People can say they believe all sorts of things, but their actions more clearly demonstrate their belief system.

proper belief about Jesus leads to, even entails, a life of obedience to God through Jesus by the Spirit. In short, orthodoxy cannot be separated from orthopraxy, or right action.

Thus orthodoxy is built on a relationship with God in which we rightly approach him in worship.

The Corinthians are reminded that they cannot be Christian without committing daily to the crucified and resurrected Christ.

But can you truly be spiritual without a connection to the Trinity and the ideas expressed in the Creed?

With eschatology, most people just think in terms of end times, but a holistic eschatology speaks of God’s act to bring salvation to the world through Christ and the Spirit. Through the activity of the Holy Spirit, the kingdom of God is here now, not just when Christ returns.
