~ The Work Of The Trinity In Our
Redemption ~
Redemption By Blood (the
work of the Son) ~ “Gird up the loins
of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be
brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not
conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who
called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is
written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.’ And if you call on the Father, who without
partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout
the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold,
from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1
Peter 1:13-19).
Redemption By Power (the
work of the Father) ~ “You were not
redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless
conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the
foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who
through Him believe in God [the Father],
who raised Him [the Son of God] from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your
faith and hope are in God” (1 Peter 1:18-21).
Redemption Through The Word (the
work of the Holy Spirit) ~ “God, who raised
Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Since you have purified your souls in obeying
the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love
one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of
corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and
abides forever, because ‘All flesh is as
grass, and all the glory of man as
the flower of the grass. The grass
withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever.’
Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you” (1
Peter 1:21b-25).
