27
Q

Classical period vs. decadent period (116)-

A

People in decadent cultures sense they’re surrounded by disconnected remnants of a once coherent past, struggling to explain how things relate, like in classical golden ages.

28
Q

Economy of Salvation

A

The flawlessly designed way God administers his gracious self-giving. The “economy of salvation” is like God’s perfectly organized plan for giving His love and help to save people. It’s not random or messy. Instead, it’s carefully thought out and follows a precise procedure. Theologians use this term to describe God’s well-ordered plan to save us.

29
Q

The Gospel

A

That God is God for us, that he gives himself to be our salvation, “God is the gospel.” He does not give us some thing that makes us blessed, but he blesses us by giving us himself

30
Q

Grace

A

An overarching term for all of God’s gifts to humanity, all the blessings of salvation, all events through which are manifested God’s own self-giving. Grace is a divine attribute revealing the heart of the one God, the premise of all spiritual blessing.

31
Q

Religion

A

“Head” Christians are those who focus a lot on having the right beliefs (doctrine), which is something we should all care about. However, they make the mistake of thinking that being “theologically correct” is the most important part of being a Christian.

32
Q

hypostatic union

A

which means that Jesus was one person who possessed both God’s nature and man’s nature.

33
Q

“Two Hands” of the Father-

A

The Son and the Spirit work together to do what the Father wants. They do it as a team, supporting each other, and they follow the Father’s plan. However, they are not the same, and they don’t do exactly the same things. The Son acts like the Son, and the Spirit acts like the Spirit, each with their own unique roles in the work of salvation.

34
Q

Method of Grace

A

book by Puritan John Favel , he provided a full treatment of the way salvation actually takes hold of a human life.

35
Q

Mission

A

The way God gives himself to us is that the Father gives the Son and the Spirit, sending them to redeem us and reveal the Trinity. In Trinitarian theology, the word for the sending of these two persons is mission.

36
Q

Generation

A

The Son’s procession is “sonly,” or filial, so it is called generation,

37
Q

Adoption in Trinitarian Terms

A

a key way God saves us. It shows that God gives us a special new relationship where we become His children. In terms of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), it means God includes us in the same relationship He has always had with His Son. So, when we become God’s children, we become part of the same relationship that the Son of God has always had, both as a human and as part of the Trinity.

38
Q

WWJD

A

Once again, there is no such thing, in Christian life and thought, as being too Christ-centered. But it is certainly possible to be Father-forgetful and Spirit-ignoring. At their best, and from their roots, evangelicals have avoided that. In recent decades, though, it requires vigilance to make sure we are presenting the evangelical message with recognizable Trinitarian connections. What would Jesus do? He would do the will of the Father in the power of the Spirit. He would send the Spirit to bring us to the Father.

39
Q

Faux Christocentrism

A

Salvation begins and ends in union with Christ, and all the blessings of salvation flow naturally from that union. This should be familiar territory to anybody who understands the gospel. But the Trinitarian shape of this application of redemption guards against numerous mistakes. Mainly, it lodges the saving life of Christ in the work of the Father and the Spirit and thus keeps us from falling back into a faux Christocentrism that is both Father-forgetful and Spirit-ignoring. But it also keeps us from declining into a couple of defective understandings of what salvation is.

40
Q

The Engine, Car, and Caboose of Salvation

A

What we have learned about the kind of evangelical Trinitarianism that changes everything is that God’s own eternal being as the Trinity is what matters most; it is the one thing better than the good news. But the good news, God’s free choice to be himself for us by sending the Son and the Spirit into the economy of revelation and salvation, is the crucial link between who God is and what he does to save us. We find our places within that economy of salvation, and our experience of God in the gospel also comes along for the ride. This is the proper order of evangelical talk about the Trinity and the gospel. It should always be at least implicitly observed, and sometimes that order should be made explicit.

41
Q

Binitarian

A

The focus of the relationship between Jesus and God, uses two aspects. One: Jesus is uniquely associated with God. Two: Jesus is identified with God. Use John 1:1 as a reference for both. One: John 17:3-that they may know you, Two: John 10:30-father and I are one

42
Q

Coinherence

A

overlapping of identity, feature of human mutual love and to an extent. Father loves te son, given by father, reciprocated by son, remaining distinct in the way of being God that is proper to each, comprise one God.

43
Q

Divine passive

A

God is the implied agent performed the action with a verb in the passive voice

44
Q

The goal of prayer and basis of prayer

A

goal is to access father, Eph 3:12, Rom 5:2, Galatians 4:6-all point towards having direct contact with the father because of the work of the son and intermiation of the Spirit, become bold and confident because of spirit when praying- basis is God sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, spirit prays on our behalf.
