What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Quotes about the Holy Spirit as a distinct Divine Person"
Answer
The Holy Spirit is presented in Adventist writings as the third Person of the Deity, possessing the fullness of divine power and authority. He is one of the three living persons of the "heavenly trio," working together with the Father and the Son in the process of humanity’s redemption. As the representative of Christ on earth, the Holy Spirit acts with full divine energy to renew the character of believers and lead them to all truth.
Three Living Persons of the Heavenly Trio
»The Comforter, whom Christ promised to send after His ascension, is the Spirit in the full fullness of the Deity, revealing the power of divine grace to all who receive Christ and believe in Him as their personal Savior. 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 through living faith are baptized, and these powers will cooperate with the obedient.«
The Third Person of the Deity
»Sin could be resisted and overcome only through the mighty mediation of the Third Person of the Deity, who was to come not with a modified energy but with the full divine power. It is the Spirit who makes effective what has been accomplished by the Redeemer of the world. Through the Spirit the heart becomes pure.«
The Holy Spirit as the Representative of Christ
»The Holy Spirit is the representative of Christ, yet without a human personality and independent of it. Burdened with human nature, Christ could not be personally present everywhere. Therefore, for their benefit it was appropriate that He returned to the Father and sent the Spirit to be His successor on earth. ... Through the Spirit the Savior would become accessible to all.«
The Three Highest Powers of the Universe
»The presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the three highest powers in the universe and in whose name believers are baptized, is promised to every struggling person. It will grant grace and strength to all who keep watch in prayer, to all who cleanse their souls through obedience to the truth.«
Heavenly Guest and Examiner of Hearts
»The Holy Spirit comes into the world as the representative of Christ. He not only speaks truth, but is truth — a faithful and true Witness. He is a great Examiner of hearts and knows the character of all. ... Every teacher should know and welcome this heavenly Guest.«
