Beyond the plans, principles, and laws to the Person of God

Theologians have a tendency to begin, to source, to found, to presuppose from the external of God to the man. Laws, principles, God's plans, and His actions are the center of their theorizing and what often is missed -- because we are human -- is the person of God. As Jim Fowler says, "God does what He does, because He IS Who HE IS."

We can safely say that...
  • God is doing what He is doing because He IS Who He is.
  • God has planned what He has planned because He IS Who He is.
  • God has principled what He has principled because He IS Who He is.
