The Father Plans, the Son Creates and Inherits, and the Spirit Accomplishes, Renews

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. John 3.35.

In eternity past God has predetermined to establish a house over which the second person in the Godhead, the Son, shall rule. He has given all things to the Son as His inheritance. All things are of the Son, through the Son, and to the Son. The Father plans, the Son inherits whatever the Father has planned, and the Holy Spirit accomplishes all that the Father has planned. The Father is the Planner, the Son is the Heir, and the Holy Spirit is the Executor. The love of the Father towards the Son commences in eternity past. He is the Beloved of the Father. Even in eternity the Father has loved the Son. When the Son comes to the world the Father still declares, “This is my beloved Son” (Matt. 3.17). The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hands.
