We can’t stress enough the vital importance of correct doctrine and theology about God. But we also need to remember that correct understanding about the doctrine of God without knowing God Himself is a spiritually barren wasteland. God didn’t just save us to spare us from hell and bring us to heaven; He saved us so that we can know Him.
