Four Views on the Apostle Paul Quotes

“Furthermore, this triune God is known in an act of redemption as Christ enters into a hostile world to rescue it. This God is saving the cosmos through Christ—and in a humiliating and costly way. Hence salvation, in this sense, is part of the being and identity of God. Moreover, Paul has grasped helpfully that this saving dynamic is rooted in divine love (e.g., 5:8). God’s extravagant love led to God’s extraordinary and self-sacrificing salvation.”
