76. But let them learn that it is also said of God the Father: “In the Lord I will praise the word;” Ps. lvi. [lv.] 4. and elsewhere: “In God we will do mighty deeds;” Ps. lx. [lix.] 12. and “My remembrance shall be ever in Thee;” Ps. lxxi. [lxx.] 6. and “In Thy Name will we rejoice;” Ps. lxxxix. [lxxxviii.] 16. and again in another place: “That his deeds may be manifested, that they are wrought in God;” S. John iii. 21. and Paul: “In God Who created all things;” Eph. iii. 9. and again: “Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the Church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ;” 2 Thess. i. 2. and in the Gospel: “I in the Father and the Father in Me,” and “the Father that dwelleth in Me.” S. John xiv. 10. It is also written: “He that glorieth let him glory in the Lord;” 2 Cor. x. 17. and in another place: “Our life is hid with Christ in God.” Col. iii. 3. Did he here ascribe more to the Son than to the Father in saying that we are with Christ in God? or does our state avail more than the grace of the Spirit, so that we can be with Christ and the Holy Spirit cannot? And when Christ wills to be with us, as He Himself said: “Father, I will that they whom Thou hast given Me be with Me where I am,” S. John xvii. 24. would He disdain to be with the Spirit? For it is written: “Ye coming together and my spirit with the power of the Lord Jesus.” 1 Cor. v. 4. Do we then come together in the power of the Lord, and dare to say that the Lord Jesus would not be willing to come together with the Spirit Who does not disdain to come together with us?
