"The Father has elected, and the Son has redeemed; but until the Spirit (who is the last cause) has wrought his part also, we cannot be saved. For he comes in the Father’s and in the Son’s name and authority, to put the last hand to the work of our salvation, by bringing all the fruits of election and redemption home to our souls in this work at effectual vocation." — John Flavel, quoted by Fred Sanders in The Deep Things of God: How the Trinity Changes Everything (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2010), 144
