What
does God use to change our life – to make us more like him?
Look
at the woman at the well in John 4. She asked Jesus theological
questions, like about where to worship – mostly because he was
getting too close for comfort talking about her life. She was trying
to change the subject. He answered her question, but steered the
conversation back to himself and to her.
Her
life was changed by that encounter on a hot afternoon, but not
because he taught her such awesome theology about where to worship.
Her life was changed because of her experience with him.
Good theology is important, but God
changes our life through experience with Him, not through our
theology.
