“**18.** The foremost fruit and goal of Theology is knowledge of the truth that 
accords with godliness (**Titus 1:1**). By this description supernatural truth is
distinguished from natural truth; the latter does not suffice in a man who is not
yet reborn, and it does not have the power to infuse his heart with godliness and
true service to God, as is evidenced by many proofs in **Romans 1 and 2**.

**19.** This truth is the form that pervades Theology in its entirety as well as
its individual parts, and therefore the theologian always contemplates it in one
and the same way throughout the sacred letters.

**20.** The second use and goal of Theology is that it renders us wise unto salvation
and to every good gift in this present life and the life that is to come (**2 Tim
3:15, 1 Tim 4:8**).

**21.** The glory of God is the highest goal of Theology whereby He has prepared
this glory only for Himself, because He is all-sufficient unto Himself and is in
want of nothing, and because not a thing can be added to Him by our doing.”
