Experiencing Christ’s Resurrection Paul preached the resurrection of Christ not only as the objective gospel, but also as it related to His own experience. He spoke of being in the likeness of Christ’s resurrection (Rom. 6:5). Furthermore, in the desperate and depressing confines of a Roman prison, he sought to know and experience the power of Christ’s resurrection (Phil...

Experiencing Christ’s Death The effectiveness of Christ’s death is also communicated to us by the consummated Spirit. The apostles often spoke of the believers experiencing the death of Christ: being crucified with Christ (Gal. 2:20), being crucified to the world (Gal. 6:16), crucifying the flesh (Gal. 5:24), dying to sin (1 Pet. 2:24), being conformed to His death (Phil. ..

Experiencing Christ’s Human Living In His human living, Christ expressed all of the rich divine attributes, such as love, light, righteousness, holiness, mercy, and compassion through His human virtues. Similarly, He expects His believers to live by His divine life, which they received in regeneration (Rom. 1:17), that through them, God may have an enlarged and expanded expr..

Some may suppose that Christ’s incarnation, human living, death, and resurrectionare merely historical events that bear little if any present and practical significance. Nevertheless, the thought of the New Testament is much different. Through the consummated Spirit, all of Christ’s person and work, including all His achievements and attainments, are borne and communicated ..

The Consummated Spirit as the Reality of the Person and Work of Christ In our discussion of Christ becoming the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45; 2 Cor. 3:17) or of the processed Triune God in Christ being consummated as the Spirit, we in no way intend to annul the intrinsic distinction between the Son and the Spirit. The Son became the Spirit, yet the Son by no means ceases to..

Here we need to point out the distinction between the essential and economical aspects of the Trinity. Essentially speaking, just as the Son retained His divine essence as He underwent incarnation, so the Spirit’s divine element was in no sense compromised or altered when He was consummated in Christ's resurrection. Economically speaking, just as certainly as the Triune God ..

In Resurrection As with the previous steps of Christ’s process, the complete Triune God is likewise involved in Christ’s resurrection. The Father certainly raised Christ from the dead (Rom. 6:4; Gal. 1:1). Yet the Son of God, by virtue of His divinity, also raised Himself from the dead (John 10:17-18). Furthermore, Romans 1:4 reveals the particular role of the Spirit in Chr..

In Crucifixion Hebrews 9:14 testifies of the divine Triune activity on the cross: Christ the Son offered Himself to God the Father through the eternal Spirit. The Lord Jesus was uniquely qualified to die a redemptive death on the cross in that He was the physical embodiment of the Triune God (Col. 2:9). His perfect humanity enabled Him to shed sinless blood to take away the si..

In Human Living Just as the entire Trinity was included in Christ’s incarnation, so the Three were intimately involved in His human living. Jesus lived much more than an upright, moral, sinless, and righteous life; primarily He lived His human life by the divine life, expressing God’s divine attributes through His human virtues. He worked with the Father (John 5:17-19), did..

In Incarnation When fundamental Christians speak of the incarnation, the Word becoming flesh (John 1:14), they are typically–and accurately–referring to the human birth of the Son of God. Strictly speaking, however, the incarnation is not only that of the Son, but of the Word, who is God (John 1:1). The Son is certainly the subject of the incarnation, as He ..
