INTRO
The inseparable operations of the Triune God mean that the three persons always work together in creation, redemption, and consummation.Still, their roles can be distinguished, which means that the Holy Spirit is particularly associated with certain divine works.The Spirit carries out the divine will in the world and brings it to completion, with special reference to speaking, applying salvation through re-creating and perfecting, and indwelling God’s people so they are filled with his presence.GREGG R.
