Reflection on Theology
Over the course, my view on theology has significantly changed. The course has
changed my spiritual and physical perspective, and I have encountered some changes that
have taken place, which has changed the way I live and improved my understanding and
experience of divine nature. Before I studied theology, I used to have weird thoughts and
misconceptions about religion and the existence of God. I used to think that theology was just
a mere form of education, but as I continued with the course, I understood it and its values
and also got ability to relate the human nature and divine being of God. I discovered that
theology is the process of assessing the practicality and heart of what I believe to be true to
take the next step in my relationship with Christ. It also helped me to acquire new thoughts
and values that have helped me throughout my life, including when dealing with community
issues. Theology provides a wide range of wisdom, but it also forms your viewpoint on life,
and it matters how and why you do what you do. Lastly, theology has made me more aware of
God's invitation to learn and grow more profoundly every day. Rather than concentrating on
the material world and all it has to offer, Biblical theology has taught me that concentrating on
Christ and reading and studying His Word will help me now and in the future.
I learned so many principles over the course, and I have been able to apply them in
real life. First, in Christianity, Jesus is taken as a righteous supper being sent by God to come
and deliver human beings from sin. Having a strong belief in it assisted me in putting into
practice the principles I acquired from Jesus. For example, sharing and loving one another,
where theology teaches that we should love every person equally as God loves us and share
what we have with those who don't have.

There are various ways to maintain consistent love and serve in this way, including
basic courtesy, listening, reducing others' burdens, sharing the word of life with others, and
even allowing others to help us. Just as Jesus was sent to spread the Gospel, I have seen the
great importance of spreading Gospel in the society and letting anyone understand the
importance of believing in him. Reading the word of God consistently has enabled me to
acquired essential principles that need to be in real life. Lastly, I have also learned that the
best way to communicate with God and seek assistance is through payers. This has made me
pray when facing a difficult situation and pray for other people to get what they hope for.
Just as we have learned that Jesus was entrusted with power by God to come and pass
the message to people so they may have a clear understanding of the importance of believing
in Him and His nature and work; just as Jesus works tirelessly to spread the Gospel, I also
have the responsibility to reach people, educate them on various aspects of Christianity, and
teach them the acceptable good ways before Him. In theology, there are multiple ways that
Christ used to pass the message to people, for instance, attending to a large group of people
and use parables. As a result, I can hold crusades and participate in ministries to reach many
people. Lastly, as seen in Christianity, Jesus acts as a role model to many individuals,
therefore I will make sure that I develop a good character and role so that the rest of the
individuals can follow and have acquired the message.
