TIM KELLER “THE REASON FOR GOD” “If there is no God, then everything in and about us is the product of blind impersonal forces. The experience of love may feel significant, but evolutionary naturalists tell us that it is merely a biochemical state in the brain. But what if there is a God? Does love fare any better? It depends on who you think God is.”
TIM KELLER “THE REASON FOR GOD” “(If) God is unipersonal, then until God created other beings there was no love, since love is something that one person has for another. This means that a unipersonal God was power, sovereignty, and greatness from all eternity, but not love.
TIM KELLER “THE REASON FOR GOD” Love then is not of the essence of God, nor is it at the heart of the universe. Power is primary. However, if God is triune, then loving relationships in community are the “great fountain… at the center of reality.”
