““The triune God of Scripture lives! He is not static. He is not lifeless. He is not bored. He is not boring. He is the living God! He is the Father of lights, fount of divinity, origin of origins, begetting yet unbegotten, deity prime, the almighty maker of heaven and earth. He is the beloved Son, Word of the Father, God’s sermon and song, his image and wisdom, very God of very God, begotten before all worlds. He is the Holy Spirit, breath of the living God, the river of his delights, the oil on his beard, the glad bond of loving union, proceeding from Father and Son. This is God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, knowing each other, loving each other, delighting in each other, from all eternity, with no needs, no wants, no lack. Complete and total and infinite happiness. This is who God is.””
