Delivered on: 8 October 2017

When contemplating God's story of redemption of his people from the fall, we must ask this question: how is sin dealt with so that God can enter into a relationship with redeemed humanity? To understand this, we must have a doctrine of the Trinity that informs our understanding of the Father lovingly sending the Son into creation and the Son lovingly obeying the Father and giving Himself for the elect to the point of death on the cross and the Spirit raising Christ from the dead and applying his work in the hearts of the elect. As we realize the sufficiency of Christ's work on the cross we can allow the Holy Spirit to reveal our sin and increase our awareness of this truth, while having a growing awareness of the glory of Christ and the perfect loving community that exists in our Triune God being one Godhead in three persons. And realize that we are partners of that perfect loving community by faith in Christ and therefore should not be afraid of the revelation of our sin because in it the love of God and our union with Christ is revealed. (Jn 3:16-21)
