Do you worship God? Or an aspect of him?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

John 1:1‭-‬5 NKJV

The Greek word for "Word" used in John 1 is the Greek word Logos (Strong's Greek 3056, λόγος). The meaning is chiefly, reason.

The idea of the word Logos, to Chrisitans, is personified as the one who was from the beginning, who was with God, who was God. The word who became flesh, dwelt among men, and ultimately sacrificed for our Sins.

The Stoics (Greek Philisophy founded by Zeno) too, has a concept of Logos. In fact, they worshipped Logos and believed that Logos, a form of reason, is the power and presence of a universal, omniscient god, the driving force of human virtues. They worshipped god not as a person (like the Jews did), but as a concept or the logical aspect of it's virtues.

Paul's address to the Stoics with the Areopagus in Act 17 seeks to identify with them, and yet attempts to teach them what is lacking in their pantheon.

While the Stoics worshipped only an aspect of God, are we doing the same today? Are we worshipping a partial aspect of God and not a full revelation of him through his word? Are we worshipping his Grace without his Mercy? His Love without fear for his impending judgement? His words of comfort without the warnings? His Freedom without his Instructions.
