Israel's God's bodied love continues world-making

What's the gospel in seven words? We asked theologians, pastors and others both to answer this question and to
expand on this in a few sentences. To see all the responses together as they're posted, bookmark this page. Add your own version here. --Ed.

Israel's God's bodied love continues world-making.

The modifier "Israel" assures that "God" is the
creator of heaven and earth, who emancipated Israel and gave the commands of
Sinai. This God is fully and uniquely "bodied" in Jesus and his restorative
life. "Continues" concerns the ongoing force and rule of God's Spirit that is
the presence of Jesus. This covenantal love binds the world to God's goodness,
which creates and recreates worlds (cosmic, public, social, personal) toward
flourishing. This love invites creaturely engagement with such flourishing. I
used only six words; I rested on the seventh.
