We cannot measure the fathomless love that motivated God to come to us. We can only know that Jesus has met us at our lowest point in order to bring us against all odds into God’s own life. Our godliness originates in the incarnate Son of God and his faithfulness to the Father, even through death to resurrection and ascension. Of course, the Holy Spirit plays an integral role in this drama, for it is through the Spirit that Christ is vindicated. Just as Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the God-humanward movement of grace, Jesus establishes the human-Godward trajectory for humanity by the Holy Spirit.
