Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 3:10-18 (day six)
When Peter tells us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Pet. 3:18), he’s inviting us to practice good theology, not as academics, but as disciples who want to know God truly. The reality is, we’re all doing theology all the time. Every prayer we pray, every worship song we sing, every moment we try to make sense of life through Scripture, we’re already thinking and speaking about God. That’s theology.
Some say, “Don’t give me theology, just give me Jesus.” But the moment we open the Bible and describe who Jesus is, we’re doing theology. The real question isn’t whether we do theology, but whether we do it well. Doing good theology is more than the accumulation of knowledge; it shapes how we live in the world.
As Basil the Great said, “True theology isn’t curiosity; it’s devotion in the service of God.” (4th century)
