The Doctrine of the Trinity 7

I. GOD THE FATHER HAS SET FORTH HIS PLAN FOR REDEMPTION.
["But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His son,"]

God has created the world for the good of those who live in it.

All things are woven together in harmony and unity with great diversity and uniqueness so that people may benefit from the creation. Even those things that seem mysterious to us are created by God.

God graciously sustains his creation that those who live in that they have abundance rather than mere subsistence. His sustaining grace is the very source of life and he commands death.

There is nothing that is not called to praise God. He is pleased with what he has done in the created order according to his sovereignty.
