He is perfectly content within Himself. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have no need of any other. He has made me to share in His love and glory both for my own joy and good and for His glory. But I cannot do this unless he changes me, because the me without change doesn't even want this. So God does this something to me to change me, and out of the changed me comes faith, repentance, and a growing healing and wholeness.
Faith is a condition of salvation, but it is also a gift.
It is a gift in that it flows out of a nature that God has changed. Repentance is a condition of salvation, but it like faith is also a gift. It is a gift in that it flows out of a nature that God has changed and is ever changing. Both my faith and my repentance are the work of this triune God who is fully present and committed to working in, upon, and through me by the Holy Spirit. Even though I am now God's very own special workmanship, a new creation in Christ, I am in this present body and in this present time a mixed bag as it were.
