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.
Reading history can be fascinating. There are so many twists and turns, and so many unexpected and surprising events that unfold. We see this even in the history recorded in the Bible. Think of the complicated story of Joseph. He has a dream, in which he’s told that his brothers will bow down before him, and yet everything that unfolds after that seems to contradict it. He’s thrown into a pit, he’s sold into slavery, he’s taken to a far country, he’s betrayed by his master’s house, he’s put in prison and forgotten about there, and there’s one thing after another. And when you first hear the story, you find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat wondering, “What will happen next?”
