Almighty Love

Overview

Episode 2 of The Apostles’ Creed: Faith Matters, titled “Almighty Love,” explores the profound meaning behind the phrase “God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth.” The scholars unpack how divine omnipotence is not about coercive force, but about love expressed through humility, suffering, and creation. They emphasize that God's power is revealed most clearly in weakness—especially through the crucifixion of Christ—and that true freedom is found not in endless choice, but in unchanging love rooted in grace. The episode also explores the tension between God's sovereignty and human free will, the implications of being made in God's image, and the purposefulness of creation as a reflection of divine order and relationship.
