The departure point for every "theology" (θεός-λόγος: God-word: the Word of God: λόγος-θεός: Jesus) must be the Theology: that He, our God, not only humbled Himself to become incarnate and to die for us, but also that He would personally choose to inhabit us and now lives in us.
Truly, beware of any theology or theologian who doesn't constantly do business with the power of the Indwelling; for, as Jesus would remind you, "The Kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21) You and I will not be able to continue on in the true faith, day by day, if our God is some unknowable externalized deity sitting up in the clouds. However, if we'll believe what the New Testament tells us - what Jesus Himself told us - then it's the knowable internalized Godhead operating within us that will carry us, day by day. Thank you, Jesus, for your life within our lives!
