Maimonides:

The object of the Law is to make man perfect, by giving him true opinions concerning God, and concerning the existence of all things; and by removing from him all notions that are apt to lead to the belief that God is not one, or that He is not the Creator of the world, or that He is not omniscient, or that He is not omnipotent, or that He is not eternal, or that He has a body, or that He is not the only object of worship.
