The Father spoke, the Son creates and the Spirit executes and renews.
When we pray, we pray to God the Father through the Son by the Holy Spirit.
Christ accomplishes redemption, the Spirit enlightens and the Father receives us.
Christ comes out of the house and into the world to seek; the Spirit stays in the house to search all things; and the Father is waiting for His prodigal sons to come back.
Grace in Christ is outward, the love of God is inward and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all (see 2 Cor. 13.14).
God initiates this love. The outward expression is grace. The Spirit communicates what has been accomplished, prompts us why a man does not receive Christ Jesus, and what the Spirit will do.
Some people overlook what Christ has done and search what the Holy Spirit will do, but this is like cutting off one of a bird's wings, then unable to fly. We are justified both by faith and by works (James 2.26): both faith in Christ and the works the Holy Spirits guides us to do that we do do. Works perfect faith (James 2.24).
