The God of the Bible is a God who is not silent. He has spoken and told us what he is like. In doing so, the Creator and Lord of the universe has invited us to know him and enjoy him forever. Our goal is not to walk away with mere knowledge. Rather, this knowledge of God is meant to lead us into worship. Contrary to popular caricatures, doctrine is always meant to lead to doxology, and nowhere is that truer than when we study the doctrine of God. As Paul Helm says, “In the Christian theological tradition metaphysics”—the study of God’s being or essence—“is but a prelude to worship.”
