The purpose of this current module is to explore what the Bible teaches about God Himself, which is to say, what God reveals to us about God. So if you wish to gain a deeper understanding of who the Lord is, these lectures aim to benefit you. The lectures in this second module on the doctrine of God are, like the others, introductory, not exhaustive; and they’re intended to furnish you with a foundation that you can build upon in your further studies. But that is not to say that they will be easy. When we think about the God of glory, we are dealing with deep and difficult matters. And this requires reverence, humility, diligence, and much prayer that the Lord would open our eyes to behold a glimpse of His glory by faith.
Some things are easy to learn, and other things are far more challenging and difficult. Learning to count, for example, is fairly simple. On the other hand, we would find the science and math needed to send a rocket into outer space, to be complicated. It takes years of painstaking study to learn that kind of math, and its application to rocket science. But we expect that to be the case. We’re not surprised, because we have a sense of the technical difficulties involved. In fact, if you reduced it to simple math, you would find it dangerous.
