By Schubert Ogden
The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
THE AGENCY OF GOD
L reflexively, in relation to Godself, is the action of God's love ad intra, whereby God is triune: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and
2. nonreflexively, in relation to others, is the action of God's love ad extra, whereby God is
(1)
the Creator
(2)
the Consummator
(3)
the Savior
both immediately and directly, by God's own action alone, and mediately and indirectly, through one or more of God's creatures or in cooperation with their immediate and direct action.
