It sure makes sense that it's a Spirit thing. So I find myself wondering, what does it look like, feel like, for me to share in the life of the Trinity? I know something of what it's like to share in the life of marriage. Is sharing in Trinity like that? Is it a mystical, emotional rush like some tell me? Or is it a losing of myself so that I am no longer me, but all is God? I don't think any of these capture it, but what is it? This is a great insight, David.

The presence of the Holy Spirit within the lives of believers, both individually and corporately, allows for this concept of participation with the Trinity to take place. Because we have died and our lives are hidden in Christ, we only live because of the Spirit's presence living within us. It is a Spirit-empowered and Spirit-enabled participation that is taking place. I think the key element to the concept of participation is found in 1 John 4:13, the Holy Spirit.
