\"\"<\/a>In Romans 11, we find the conclusion to Paul\u2019s first half of his letter that focuses on the theology or beliefs of early Christianity. What surprises me is that the conclusion is not an academic summary; it is a response of worship. The text reads:<\/p>\n

33<\/sup> Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
\nHow unsearchable his judgments,
\nand his paths beyond tracing out!
\n34<\/sup> \u201cWho has known the mind of the Lord?
\nOr who has been his counselor?\u201d
\n35<\/sup> \u201cWho has ever given to God,
\nthat God should repay them?\u201d
\n36<\/sup> For from him and through him and for him are all things.
\nTo him be the glory forever! Amen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When we discover the truth of God, worship is the result. We do not complain or doubt; we bow and honor Christ. Any theology that does not lead to humble worship of God is bad theology.<\/strong><\/p>\n
