I used to think along the line that anyone who studied theology would be something like a sage speaking like a pastor or reverent, a person quite disconnected from the world. How wrong I was.
Whether we realise it or not, we all actually crave theology. In fact, we don't just crave theology, we are born to reason theology, speak theology, and live theology. Using God's wisdom as the foundation, and substance to the finer points of reasoning and logic. I cannot tell you how reassuring it is to the soul to come to a good understanding of the bible. Theology grants exactly that.
In every human lies the desire to be more wise, knowledgeable in everything despite knowing the imperfection to us that disallows that. We all want to seem good at everything. This trade of us shows through the fact that we want to give advice on everything despite knowing that we are not the best or even good at that one peculiar thing. Its a premise that not everyone is going to accept, though my position would be that reality does not require the belief of people to make it real. Thus the phase "reality is a hard and painful place."
The study of God. That is what theology is. There are many school of thoughts that goes around it, but generally there is only one focus. God's style of reasoning and ways.
Here is my premise. With God as our creator, sustainer, reason, and hope, there is even more so, too many reasons to want to study God. No man would in his right mind not decide to study his origin to want to know his purpose.
"Origin story telling time!" -- deadpool
Honestly, how nice doe that line sounds? When I first heard it, I like it so much that I gotten really motivated to find out my origin as well. Which led me to start a bible hunt around chapters like genesis, and the books written by apostle Paul. Knowing our origins, our originator is very important. Destiny and things like that can only be discovered upon discovering true origins.
Thus my conclusion. God is our origin and originator. To lead a fulfilled and wise life, You must know God. Period.
