Episode notes
God's Nature
- God is both immanent (close to us) and transcendent (greater than us).
- These two concepts must be held together, not viewed as separate.
God's Care for Creation
- God cares for all of creation, not just those in a covenant relationship with him.
- This baseline care is evident in his sustaining of the world.
Creation vs. Redemption
- God's commitment to creation is often overlooked, with some churches focusing solely on redemption.
- This can lead to a distorted view of God's relationship with the world.
