Summary

we engage in intellectual pursuits that deepen our understanding of God and His ways. It involves using our critical thinking and rational abilities to seek out and contemplate spiritual truths.

It is not enough to simply have an emotional or passive belief; we are called to actively engage with our intellect and continually grow in our understanding of God's wisdom and character.
