The Christian God, our God, is a communal God, a God who within himself lives in community. Father begets Son. Out of the love of Father and Son springs the Spirit, one God, yet a community.
This mystery reveals again to us the primacy of love, both in God and in ourselves. Ponder it within your heart. Explore its depths within those you love! This is where we see the importance of our image of God!
If truth is simply a series of doctrinal statements, then faith is just an intellectual exercise and we could well run
around in logical circles wondering why we never seem to arrive anywhere. If truth is simply how we feel, then we will not see the significance of our lives. We will merely respond to stimuli. If our lives are lived in the conviction that there is a truth of mind and heart and spirit, then we have begun to seek God.
When our search for truth becomes a relationship with the God who is truth, then we are saved! When our heart’s journey brings us to friendship with the God who is love, then we are saved! When our confusion and doubt brings us to call out for a Savior and recognizes the Lord, then we are saved! It is then that Father, Son and Spirit will dwell in us, and we will dwell in God!
