Joe tracked me down one day. With desperation in his voice, he pleaded that I help him resolve a crisis moment. As a seminary student, he was overwrought with thoughts that he didn’t belong in seminary. He ticked off several reasons for his doubt. He went to class, and his mind wandered. He attempted to do course assignments, but he couldn’t care less. He was tired of exegeting biblical passages and developing theological convictions. He felt listless in his relationship with God.

If I can guess your answer, it might be, “The Spirit regenerates unbelievers so they become Christians.” Or, “The Spirit sanctifies believers so they become more like Christ.” These are certainly correct answers. But this two-item list—the new birth and spiritual transformation—is incomplete. The Spirit does far more.

Share FacebookTwitterRedditPinterestEmailLinkedIn It’s hard not to feel embarrassed for the poor flummoxed pastors who throw up their hands and confess, “I can’t explain how God is three in one.” It’s a kind of ritual incantation at the beginning of many sermons I’ve heard. If you attend a church that follows the liturgical calendar, you might hear it every year on Trinity Sunday.
