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.
In this world, we are faced with many difficult but fundamental questions. Some of those ultimate questions include things like: What is my purpose in life? What is my true identity? Where does life lead? or, Where am I going? What is real? What is right and what is wrong? How do I know the things that I know? What is my origin? Why do certain things exist? But another such question underneath some of these others is this: Why does anything exist? That’s a pressing question that needs a cogent answer. And it’s tied to other related questions. For example, knowing how it is that things exist would help us know why it is that they exist.
