Earthly things Vs. Heavenly things
“I have held many things in my hands, but have lost them all, but the things I placed in God’s hands I still possess.” - Martin Luther.  Martin Luther, who, in his early ages, was a catholic monk.   Although he had a deceived heart, he  analyzed the Bible.  His life changed  drastically and he converted to Christianity.  Luther rebuked the catholic church for their foolish ways of belief.  Precious money and houses will erode but heavenly things such as salvation and God’s spoken words and promises will last forever!  In other words Martin Luther is saying stuff we can hold are not eternal, but God’s gifts and such are everlasting!
Reprehensible people can apprehend many many things, but all earthly things will erode, such as money and houses.  Tempting money turns crisp and falls apart.  Houses, which can be demolished by tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes, are on.
ly temporary.  If not demolished by a storm it will fall apart and disintegrate. There is no U-haul truck behind the hearse.  Money and houses erode!
Thankfully, in contrast, things God holds, heavenly, spiritual blessings are everlasting!  Salvation is very important.  1 John 5:13“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” It is safe with God.  God, whose promises are everlasting, is non rehensible!  For an example, one of his hopeful promises is; “Behold I am coming back soon!...” Revelations 22:12.  Although it is hard to believe, our salvation and His promises to us are everlasting!  
Earthly stuff erodes but heavenly things are everlasting.  Money and houses fall apart, while our salvation and His promises are resting in His precious hands safely.  So, why do us Americans treasure stuff so much?   Martin Luther had the right idea when he explained, “I have held many things in my hands, but have lost them all, but the things I placed in God’s hands I still possess.”

Theology
During the Middle Ages the Roman Empire came crashing down after a great famine devastated the lands.  Because of this, these times were called the “Dark Ages”.  People were not able to study some of the most important subjects because they were so focused on surviving.  The assignment was to pick out one subject that would be the most needed to study.  Originally, Man was created to worship something, the result of not knowing the value of life leads to confusion, therefore theology is foremost  important to study.  
Belief leads to worship.  For an example my family and I are studying astronomy.  I am bewildered and awed when I see the impeccable beauty of the Lord.   Although, when reprehensible humans don’t study theology you don’t know what to worship… that is when Hinduism, Islam, Mormonism and such are created.  Amazingly, Christs’ extolled creation is intriguing!  
Without knowledge of theology one cannot know the purpose of life.  Therefore 1.06 million abortions are performed in one year.  What’s the purpose of life if you don’t believe that you were created by Him?  Evolution teaches that people are accidents.  Humans become depressed and melancholy after hearing that.  This is what happens when a society doesn’t study theology.
When people analyze theology they notice there is a purpose to life. God created everything! After people hear this they are filled with joy! It makes me feel special and alive!  I want to serve Him more, by loving and honoring others.  I know the value of life because I believed!
Theology is most important to study.  Belief leads to devout worship and understanding of  the value of life.  The most significant thing about believing is… People see the need of  worship, knowing the purpose of life and many other things.  However without belief people do not know the bestowed gift of life and the glory of God.  Theology is most important to study.  
Voila!
