When the Father gives something, it comes of the Father. And when the Son gives you something, it comes through Jesus. But when the Spirit provides it is given in Him. Of, through, in – just three little words, but they are mighty and powerful.
As you read God’s Word, the pattern is striking. When we see the Father spoken of, it is in terms of “the love of God,” “the power of God,” “the grace of God.” That’s how God is presented again and again.
But how is Christ portrayed? Often in Scripture we are taught that we “give praise through the Son,” “receive through the Son,” and so on.
When it comes to the Holy Ghost, however, the terminology changes. The word in is used. “Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Gal. 5:16).
And “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (v. 2.5).
