With all of theology tied so closely together as it is it is hard to pick just one. I chose the attributes of God because the reformation in my own life followed from this. Once I began to understand that God was more than a lovey-dovey teddy bear I grew greatly. An understanding of God's Holliness, Justice, Righteousness, Wrath, and Mercy let us to the understand the true Love of God in that he does simply look at us and forget our sins, but an atonement was made for them.

In my own personal journey once I began to better understand who God is, it made me understand who I am in comparison. This led to a reformed Sotieriology, and from there led to reforming all the -ology's that make up my theology.

Josh pointed out the Holliness of God, I believe this was actually the attribute of God that began the process in my life.
