The traditional doctrines do not need to be replaced or supplemented by more dynamic and lively notions of God. In fact, the God of classical Christian theism is infinitely more concerned with the welfare and conduct of His creatures than the God of theistic mutualism could ever be. This is because on the classical account God’s concern and care do not come and go; they do not rise and fall. They are one and the same as His eternal act of creation and, for His elect, the same as His eternal decree to do them good through the salvation He provides in His Son.
