SonFatherEternally outgoingGodSpirit9Richard Sibbes: Gods
goodness is a communicative, spreading goodness. . . . If God had
not a communicative, spreading goodness, he would never have
created the world.
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost were happy in themselves and
enjoyed one another before the world was. But that God delights to
communicate and spread his goodness, there had never been a
creation nor a redemption. God useth his creatures not for defect
of power, that he can do nothing without them, but for the
spreading of his goodness.
10The love of God does not find, but creates, that which is
pleasing to it... Rather than seeking its own good, the love of God
flows forth and bestows good.
Martin Luther,Heidelberg Disputation

with the gospel?Believe it!Do we need more evangelists?That
depends!15Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert,
and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell
as you are.
