What is the Function of Biblical Theology in the Life of the Local Church?

Connects Our Worship

When we read the Bible piecemeal, hopping around from place to place with no real rhyme or reason, we only see small pieces of the integrated mural of redemption that has been painted for us.
When we pay attention to the major themes of the overall story in the Bible, we begin to see a richly woven tapestry of the character of the God we worship, and of the mighty acts of deliverance for which He is so famous and praiseworthy.
Biblical theology therefore functions in the local church to continually remind us of Who exactly it is that we are worshipping, and why it is that He alone deserves our undying trust, obedience, and praise.
