Ellen Gould White über: "The Deity and the Holy Spirit"
Answer
The Deity consists of three living persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are referred to as the heavenly trio. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Deity, who works with the full divine power to overcome sin and imprint the character of Christ in believers. In baptism, these three great powers of heaven commit to working together with every person who is obedient to God.
The Three 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, who reveals the power of divine grace to all those who receive Christ as a personal Savior and believe in Him. 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 accept Christ through living faith are baptized, and these powers will work together with obedience.
The Holy Spirit as the Third Person of the Deity
Sin could only be resisted and overcome through the mighty mediation 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 was accomplished by the Savior of the world. Through the Spirit the heart is purified. Through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature.
The Support of the Highest Powers of the Universe
The presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the three highest powers in the universe, in whose name the believer is baptized, is promised to every yearning soul. They will grant grace and power to all who remain vigilant in prayer and cleanse the soul through obedience to the truth.
The Cooperation of Heaven with Humanity
In our baptism we have committed to sever every connection with Satan and his instruments and to devote heart, mind, and soul to the work of spreading the Kingdom of God. The whole heaven works toward this goal. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have pledged to cooperate with the sanctified human instruments.
The Holy Spirit as Christ's Representative
The Holy Spirit comes into the world as Christ's representative. He not only speaks the truth, but He is the truth—the faithful and truthful witness. He is the great investigator of hearts and is familiar with the character of each individual.
The Promise of Divine Help
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have pledged to make God's children more than conquerors through Him who loved them. The Lord is gracious and patient and does not wish anyone to be lost. He has provided power to enable us to be overcomers.
