Room in God
By Peter Leithart
It seems that we can dwell “in” God only if He is Triune.
To put it pictorially, and somewhat quaintly: Is there any space in a god like Allah where we might find a place? It seems that at best we can only come near him, but not indwell him.
But the Triune life is not all closed in; there is space “between” the Father and Son, the space of the Spirit who is love and gift. And because of this there can be space for us, the space of the Son who has become incarnate.
