What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "How would Ellen White describe the Holy Spirit as a Person?"
Answer
Ellen White explicitly describes the Holy Spirit as a divine Person with a distinct personality, because He testifies to our spirit that we are children of God, and explores the depths of God. He is the third Person of the Deity and one of the three living Persons of the heavenly trio, who works with full divine power. At the same time, she emphasizes that the true nature of the Holy Spirit remains a mystery that the human mind cannot fathom.
The Personality and Divinity of the Holy Spirit
»The Holy Spirit has a personality; otherwise He could not testify to our spirit that we are children of God. He must also be a divine Person; otherwise He could not explore the mysteries hidden in God's mind. … The prince of the power of evil can be restrained only by the power of God in the third Person of the Deity, the Holy Spirit.«
Three Living Persons of the Heavenly Trio
»There are three living Persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of these three great powers—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powers will work together with obedience.«
The Third Person of the Deity in Full Power
»Sin could only be resisted and overcome by the mighty work of the third Person of the Deity, which would come not with diminished energy but in the fullness of divine power. It is the Spirit who makes effective what has been accomplished by the Redeemer of the world.«
The Nature of the Holy Spirit as a Divine Mystery
»The nature of the Holy Spirit is a mystery. People cannot explain it because the Lord has not revealed it to them. … Regarding such mysteries that are too deep for human understanding, silence is golden.«
