property of “filiation” is manifest in a special way. In the work of sanctification, a work that involves the Father breathing new life into being through his Word, the Spirit’s personal property of “spiration” is manifest in a special way. Appropriation, more precisely defined, then, is the special association of certain works of the Trinity with certain persons of the Trinity based on the way certain works specially manifest personal properties of the Trinity (paternity, filiation, and spiration).
