Throughout God’s acts revealed in history, from creation…
““Throughout God’s acts revealed in history, from creation to the exodus to the exile to redemption and on into the consummation, we discern a clear pattern: every good gift comes from the Father, in the Son, by the Spirit. The Father is the origin of the Son and the Spirit and therefore of all the works that they accomplish. The Father created and upholds the world in his Son (Jn 1:1 – 3; Col 1:15 – 17; Heb 1:1 – 4; Rev 19:13). The Spirit is at work within creation to bring about its appropriate response.””
