He also became man to accomplish full salvation. Then He makes usbecome Him in life, nature, and expression yet not in His unique Godhead. So the overall process of the Triune God out from Himself into man bringing man into oneness with Himself in an organice mingling and union of life too intimately involves incorporation of the divine and the human. There ends up being distinction between God and man yet hardly separation. Eternal love between us insures both this mingling and union and also distinction as objects of His love.

Do I think of the three as separate beings? No! I think of God as divine always was is and will be God, in three persons but one God. Is God separate from me as a third person? No! God indwells in me. If I am created by Jesus who created all creation I am created by God for use as God has purposed for me. I cannot separate God out from me, as a third person, my making a separation between us. Though I can have a little talk with Jesus as the song goes, and as I do. I can and do speak to the Holy Spirit, I speak to the Son, I speak to the Father, but I cannot bypass any, for God is one and is within me as the Spirit indwells me.

When speaking to the Lord, which is understood as prayer, I use the second person point of view: You. When speaking to others about the Lord, I use the third person point of view: He. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
