Instead of the Father loving us enough to send the Son to die on a cross and instead of the Son’s true and willing sacrifice, the modalist God plays the role of a man being crucified. Instead of conquering death as Jesus is raised from the grave by the power of the Holy Spirit, the modalist God puts on a show for us in which it seems that death is defeated. Modalism puts a barrier between the truth about God and the magnificent things God has done in the world.
