The following are quotes by Philip Ryken and Michael LeFebvre from their book, Our Triune God:
Salvation is not the work of a flat, nondimensional deity; rather, salvation is the glorious work of the cooperative majesty of the triune God. To know and to praise God as our Savior is to love him as the Trinity.
The plan of salvation required the active engagement of every Person of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Spirit...Salvation is administered by the Father, accomplished by the Son, and applied by the Spirit.
The Trinity is not an abstraction but a living, working, Creator-Redeemer. God is who he is in his triune being for our salvation. We are chosen by God the Father, in Christ the Son, through God the Holy Spirit.
Our salvation began in the mind of God before the beginning of time, when our God and Father planned to save a people for himself.
In Christ we are predestined, redeemed, forgiven, adopted, reconciled, sanctified, and glorified. Christ is not only the beginning and the end of our salvation, he is our salvation, for in him we receive everything we need to be saved. The location of our salvation is Jesus Christ.
The indwelling Holy Spirit is the seal of the triune God in the soul of every Christian-God's own work in our lives...If our salvation depended on us, then we would be about as stable as the stock market. But our salvation depends on God's Spirit, who is the seal of our salvation.
