Theology

In order to understand what God requires of us, we must first understand who God is. God is the creator of the universe and everything in it. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good. He is the standard of goodness, and he requires us to live up to that standard.

Who is God?

Some Christians believe in the Trinity, which is the doctrine that states that there is one God in three persons, namely, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Other Christians believe in mono-theism, which is the belief in one God.

What is man’s relationship to God?

Christian theology is the study of Christian belief and practice. Such study concentrates primarily upon the texts of the Old Testament and of the New Testament, as well as on Christian tradition. Christian theologians use biblical exegesis, rational analysis and argumentation, and sometimes systematic examination of doctrine to understand, explain, test, critique, defend or promote any myriad of religious topics.

Systematic theology draws on multiple disciplines, including history, philosophy and sociology. Systematic theology may be friend or foe to Biblical exegesis; it may promote or oppose restrictions on religious liberty; and it may encourage or discourage dialogue with people of other religions.

What does God require of me?

In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word for “righteous” is tsdaq and it means “to be just, to be fair.” It’s interesting that this word is used in the context of human relationships and not just our relationship with God. The Scripture says over and over again that God requires His people to be fair in their dealings with others. In the New Testament, the Greek word for “righteous” is dikaios and it means “upright, virtuous, conforming to a standard.” So when we’re dealing with God’s standard of righteousness, we’re talking about conformity to what is right in God’s eyes.

We can see throughout Scripture that there are two ways of looking at righteousness. The first way is through our own efforts. We can try to be good enough on our own, but we will always fall short. The second way is through faith in Jesus Christ. When we put our trust in Him, He gives us His righteousness. This is the only way we can meet God’s standard of perfection.

Bible

The Bible is the sacred book of Christianity. It is a collection of religious texts that are used by Christians to guide their beliefs and practices. The Bible contains a lot of information about what God requires of His people.

What does the Bible say about God?

In the Bible, God is often described as light, love, good, just, merciful and holy. Bible verses about God also reveal that He is all-powerful and all-knowing. The following are just a few of the many Bible verses that talk about God’s characteristics.

“God is light; In Him there is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:5)

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” (Hebrews 8:12)

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.” (Matthew 23:13)

What does the Bible say about man’s relationship to God?

The Bible is full of verses that speak to man’s relationship with God. Here are just a few examples:

“And he said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” – Luke 16:15

“This is what the Lord says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.” – Jeremiah 17:5

“But they deceive themselves in their own eyes; their sinful desires blind them. They do not know how to worship the Lord or how to serve him properly.” – Isaiah 44:18

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” – Proverbs 3:5

These verses make it clear that our relationship with God should be our top priority, and that we should trust in Him above all else.

What does the Bible say about what God requires of me?

The Bible says that “God is love” (1 John 4:8) and that love is the fulfillment of his laws (Romans 13:10). So, what does this mean for us? Simply put, it means that God’s greatest desire for us is that we would learn to love others as he has loved us. This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t want us to obey his other commands, but rather that our motivation for obeying should be love.

How can I apply what I’ve learned about man’s relationship to God to my life?

In your own life, it is important to remember that you are not God. You are not in control of everything, and you do not always know what is best. Instead of trying to control everything and be perfect, surrender to God. Trust that He knows what is best for you and He will take care of you.

When bad things happen, don’t get angry at God or try to figure out why He allowed them to happen. Instead, trust that He has a plan and He will use the situation for good. Even when it doesn’t make sense, have faith that God knows what He is doing.

Remember that God loves you unconditionally. No matter what you do or how much you mess up, He will always love you. His love is not based on your performance or your behavior; it is based on His character. So no matter what, you can always know that God loves you and He wants to have a relationship with you.
