God is a Subject

a peek at my notes. sometimes, doodles that litter page margins are more meaningful for me.

during our class in Trinity, it was stressed that God cannot be merely appraised as an object whose qualities and characteristics can be studied and delineated scientifically; rather, God is a subject whom we discover, get to know, experience, and relate to. "who" God is, therefore, is just as important as "what" God is. thus, we do not "study" God but instead grow in knowledge of Him; He is not Something sized-up but a Being embraced in love in order to be known. :)
