And God’s mission is to gather a people from all nations into a family, a family that would share in the very life of Father, Son, and Spirit. We’re going to see that this is the purpose of both creation and redemption. The mission exists for the church, not the other way around.

And I think the biblical reality and teaching of the Trinity — God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — is essential to that doctrine of God’s self-sufficiency. Because what the Trinity implies in the relationships between the Father and the Son and the Spirit is that God is love and has always been love. The Bible says, “God is love” (1 John 4:16). H...
All of that implies a negative: God did notcreate the world out of any deficiency or defect. Creation did not make God more God or improve upon his perfection. So we ask, “Is there any way to answer the question, Why did he create the universe? Have we described God’s essential being and his Trinitarian fullness and his happiness in such a way as t...
How, then, do we answer the question why God created? And I go to a passage like Isaiah 43:6–7 (and there are more, many more), remembering, by the way, that every promise of the Old Testament is yes in Christ for us Christians (2 Corinthians 1:20).
