The God Who Gives
How the Trinity Shapes the Christian Story
Kelly M. Kapic
- Many
- Christians
- wonder
- what
- the
- Christian
- life
- is
- all
- about.
- They
- hear
- about
- “grace”
- but
- struggle
- to
- rightly
- understand
- it,
- much
- less
- live
- it.
- They
- are
- taught
- about
- God,
- but
- their
- vision
- of
- him
- does
- not
- always
- reflect
- the
- full
- biblical
- portrait
- of
- the
- Father,
- Son,
- and
- Holy
- Spirit.
- When
- this
- happens
- Christians
- struggle
- to
- know
- the
- ways
- of
- God
- and
- how
- to
- joyfully
- participate
- in
- his
- work.The
- God
- Who
- Gives
- provides
- a
- compelling
- vision
- of
- Christian
- faith
- and
- life,
- helping
- readers
- discover
- the
- uniqueness
- of
- the
- gospel—that
- God's
- kingdom
- comes
- not
- by
- taking,
- but
- by
- giving—God
- gives
- Himself!
- We
- are
- invited
- into
- the
- fullness
- of
- life
- that
- can
- only
- come
- through
- the
- gift
- of
- God’s
- divine
- generosity.Taking
- readers
- through
- the
- grand
- biblical
- narrative
- of
- creation,
- fall,
- redemption,
- and
- kingdom
- author
- Kelly
- M.
- Kapic
- helps
- us
- see
- our
- story
- in
- and
- through
- the
- story
- of
- Scripture.
- He
- shows
- that
- everything
- belongs
- to
- God,
- and
- yet
- because
- of
- our
- turning
- and
- taking
- from
- him
- we
- experience
- a
- kind
- of
- suffocating
- bondage
- to
- sin.
- So
- how
- does
- God
- reclaim
- us?
- God
- gives
- again.
- The
- God
- who
- gave
- in
- creation
- restores
- by
- recreating
- us
- through
- his
- Son
- and
- by
- his
- Spirit.
- The
- kingdom
- of
- God
- is
- an
- overflowing
- measure
- of
- divine
- generosity
- that
- we
- are
- invited
- to
- participate
- in.The
- God
- Who
- Gives
- calls
- readers
- to
- discover
- that
- the
- whole
- Christian
- story
- is
- founded
- upon
- the
- Triune
- God’s
- self-giving
- and
- our
- belonging
- to
- God.
- Fully
- embracing
- this
- truth
- changes
- how
- we
- view
- God,
- ourselves,
- and
- the
- world.
- Living
- in
- God's
- gifts,
- we
- are
- freed
- to
- give
- ourselves
- and
- truly
- experience life.
