What does EGW write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The Heavenly Trio and the Holy Spirit"
Answer
The heavenly trio consists of three living persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who work together as the three great powers of heaven. The Holy Spirit is described as the third person of the deity, who comes in the full power of divine might to overcome sin. He is the highest of all God's gifts and is crucial for the sacrifice of Christ to become effective in the believer's life and to cleanse the character.
The Three Powers of the Heavenly Trio
The Comforter, whom Christ promised to send after He ascended into heaven, is the Spirit in the full fullness of the deity, who reveals the power of divine grace to all those who accept 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 by 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 by the mighty work of the third person of the deity, who would come not with weakened 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. Through the Spirit the heart is purified. Through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature. Christ gave His Spirit as a divine power to overcome all hereditary and cultivated inclinations toward evil and to imprint His own character upon His congregation.
