When God created the universe, he acted to glorify himself; from nothing he created everything, limiting his nature to be within time and space. Time and space express the glory of an infinite Triune God who pours himself out, empties himself within the persons of his being and into creation to express his glory without compulsion or necessity.
The greatest expression of love is self giving and God is perfect in love (John 15:13). Our God I believe, in creating, spoke self-giving into creation, pouring himself out, so that, from the beginning, creation speaks of his self empting love.
Christ, God the Son, poured out for humanity, is anticipated in creation’s beginning and its end. God’s infinite creativity is expressed in the person of the ever begotten Son, born of the Father yet not made; Father and Son pour their love out to one another in the Spirit. All receive love from one another in eternal, ever-new expressions of creative love. From our bountiful Triune relational God, comes the creation into which the Lord of the Fountains pours out his love.
