Pattern Theology

There is one God, who exists as two persons. The Word is truly God; the Holy Spirit is truly God; and they are distinct from one another. Together, they form the composite person of God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This union of two divine persons who are one provides us with a pattern that explains many things in creation, including marriage and the human body.

Why did God create the heavens and the earth? Why not just the earth? The Word and Spirit were both active in creation, and God made a fitting environment to enthrone each person of the godhead — heaven and earth, dust and stars.
