Kindle Notes & Highlights
The most foundational thing in God is not some abstract quality, but the fact that he is Father.
This God, he says, is love in such a profound and potent way that you simply cannot know him without yourself becoming loving.
he finds his very identity, his Fatherhood, in loving and giving out his life and being to the Son.
The Father’s love is primary.
He did not become Father at some point; rather, his very identity is to be the one who begets the Son. That is who he is.
when you don’t start with Jesus the Son, you end up with a different God who is not the Father.
And so the Son is not only the motivating origin of creation: he is its goal.
the Spirit garnishes and beautifies the heavens and the earth.
The Spirit makes his creation alive with beauty.
effusive,
ebullient
