The Trinitarian Christian Life

It's really remarkable to see how Trinitarian the Christian life is from beginning to end. Consider what the apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 1. The Father chooses from the foundation of the world the saints whom He calls to Himself (Eph. 1:4). The Son gives Himself, sheds His blood, for the redemption of sinners (Eph. 1:7). The Holy Spirit regenerates and seals the Christian in faith (Eph. 1:13-14). From beginning to end, the Christian life is one lived with each person in the Godhead. It is full communion with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
