Son, and Spirit. The understanding of His attributes gives us the foundation for understanding our relationship to Him and our relationship to the rest of creation. He is supremely good and above any corruption. He is the Lord, there is none other of equal importance. Yet God's image in man and his holy vocation have been marred by sin.
Man is fallen.
The gospel calls all to repentance, faith, and healing through Christ. At death one's life is laid bare before God. Christ is here either advocate or prosecutor, Savior or Judge. In a fallen world, a Christian's higher allegiance should lead to an ongoing encounter with pseudo-biblical or humanistic ethical systems. The pulse beat of revelation, and not the Gallup Poll, should stimulate our steps and define our direction.
