Trinity

How the Doctrine of Inseparable Operations Unlocks the Gospel
It might seem like a hard to understand and trivial point of doctrine, but it’s actually pretty important: “Without inseparable operations, the cross would not be good news. It would truly look like its critics’ worst caricatures: a Father waiting on the sidelines for the Son to bear a punishment or, worse, venting his anger on a docile Son before he can act graciously toward the rest of us. It is hard to overestimate the damage caused by such sub-Trinitarian readings of the cross.”
