As Hildegard of Bingen beautifully captures here, the Holy Spirit, the bond of love between the Father and the Son, unites us to the Triune God and draws all creation into his communion of love.

#sthildegardofbingen #trinitarian #globalgraceseminary
This profound statement from our seminary president’s chapel message this past Sunday for Proper 19 invites us to see the justice of God through the lens of Jesus Christ. The justice of God is not cold retribution, but the holy love of the Father that refuses to leave His creation captive to sin, death, and brokenness.

In the incarnation, the Son does not stand at a distance from our wounds; He enters fully into our humanity and takes our brokenness upon Himself, carrying it through the cross and into resurrection. In Christ, we see that the Father’s purpose is not simply to condemn what is broken, but to redeem and restore it, making all things new in and through His beloved Son.

This restorative work is not something we merely look back on, for the Holy Spirit continually unites us to Christ and draws us into the life of the Triune God, bearing witness within us to the Father’s love revealed in the Son.

Divine justice cannot leave wounds unhealed. The good news of the gospel is that in Christ, we see the justice of the Father, whose love is determined to restore what has been broken and bring His creation into the fullness of life for which it was made.

There’s something deeply beautiful about this thought from Chris E.W. Green.

The gospel isn’t simply about trying harder to live a good life but about being drawn into the life of the Triune God as we receive the life of Christ and, by the Spirit, learn to live from the goodness and love of the Father.

Grace doesn’t just change what we believe. It changes how we live, how we love, and how we become a gift to the people around us.

That’s the beauty of the gospel: the life of God becoming alive in us for the good of others.

Ambrose, the mentor of Saint Augustine, emphasized that the actions of the Trinity are completely indivisible.

Father John Behr writes that rather than viewing the Incarnation as an event confined to the distant past, we should see it “as a possibility that is to be lived as an ever-contemporary reality, here and now in those who respond to him.”

The good news of the gospel is that the Incarnation is not merely something Christ did then, but that in Christ, God has entered our humanity and, in Christ, our humanity has been brought into the life of God. The One who took our humanity upon himself continues to make his life known in us:

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27 (RSV)

The risen Christ is therefore not distant from us; by the Holy Spirit, the Son makes his home in us and draws us into his own relationship with the Father, so that what Christ has accomplished for us becomes the very life in which we participate:

“For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.” — Ephesians 2:18 (RSV)

The gospel, then, is not simply that Christ came, but that Christ has come, Christ is with us, and Christ lives in us—and by the Spirit, we are continually being drawn into the communion of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Let us hold fast to the truth today that the Incarnation is not merely history; it is the life of Christ being made present in us, here and now.

Has your journey been shaped more by pressure or by grace?

Are you living from the grace you’ve already received—or still striving for something that has already been freely given?

What might change if, instead of striving to become accepted, you began each day knowing you already are?

We’d love to walk with you as you rediscover the beauty of the gospel of grace.

Malcolm Smith

Karl Barth Professor of Trinitarian Theology

Malcolm Smith was born in London, England as Europe was about to be plunged into WW2. He came to faith in Jesus Christ in his early teens and almost immediately experienced the fullness of the Spirit that was to change and redirect his life forever. From that day he had a passion to know the covenant love of God and how that love is worked out in our fellowship with God and loving one another. He began to preach at age fourteen and came to the United States in the early 1960’s becoming a teacher and leader of the emerging renewal of the Spirit throughout all denominations. Since then he has traveled to almost every continent teaching the love of God. He now resides in Bandera, Texas and conducts retreats and a non-residential Bible School. He also travels throughout the U.S. conducting retreats and meetings in churches and organizations of all denominations. UnconditionalLoveFellowship.com
