 The essence of knowledge is
self-knowledge Knowing
Thyself (Plato)

True and sound wisdom, consists

in two parts: the knowledge of
God and of ourselves (Institutes,
1.1.1).

NOTE
Socrates (500 BC) Plato (424-347 BC)
Aristoteles (367 BC)
Calvin - Calvin argued that one could
not truly know God without knowing
oneself and that one couldn't truly know
oneself without knowing God

R2B - PATROLOGY 3
WHY DO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE ATTRIBUTE OF GOD
Without knowing who He is, how can we begin
having a relationship with Him?
Without knowing who He is and His Attributes, how
can we believe in Him and trust Him with our lives?
How can we believe He is a God who desires to save
us and is even capable of saving us?
Without knowing who He is, we cannot be saved.

 THERE IS GOD ....

Pada mulanya Allah menciptakan langit

dan bumi [Kej 1:1].

Sebab apa yang tidak nampak dari

pada-Nya, yaitu kekuatan-Nya yang
kekal dan keilahian-Nya, dapat nampak
kepada pikiran dari karya-Nya sejak
dunia diciptakan, sehingga mereka tidak
dapat berdalih. [Rom 1:20].

R2B - PATROLOGY 9
INCOMPREHENSIBLE
We can only apprehend God, not
comprehend Him!
Apprehend is to understand what God
has revealed to us
Comprehend is to fully wrap our minds
around God, to dissect Him and
understand Him completely, Which we
CANNOT do
We only know as much as God reveals
to us.

THERE IS GOD ....

Karena apa yang dapat mereka ketahui tentang

Allah nyata bagi mereka, sebab Allah telah
menyatakannya kepada mereka.
[Rom 1:19]

Setelah pada zaman dahulu Allah berulang kali

dan dalam pelbagai cara berbicara kepada
nenek moyang kita dengan perantaraan nabi-
nabi, maka pada zaman akhir ini Ia telah
berbicara kepada kita dengan perantaraan
Anak-Nya, [Ibr 1:1-2a]
