Dr. pinkham continues:
“the kind of relationships enjoyed between father, son, and spirit are now available to us! this is the good news! salvation is not limited to the forgiveness of sin. rather, salvation paves the way for a much deeper and more personal relationship with the members of the trinity, and with one another. . . . believers take on the nature of the trinitarian relationship. this is interpersonal oneness expressed in the divine family. we receive the enabling to engage in this kind of relating due to the miraculous work of christ [who sent the holy spirit as he promised to be our helper and counselor]. however, we are also able to reflect such interpersonal oneness as image-bearers of god.”
i continue to post excerpts from dr. pinkhams’s book as blogs to show in compelling manner the reality of dual interaction between the indwelling holy spirit and the human spirit enabled by the neural synaptic networks created by god to give us a personal, intimate communion with jesus and the father. we are increasing our understanding of this wonderful process through neural science.
