Ellen Gould White über: "What does EGW write about a third Person of the deity?"
Answer
Ellen White explicitly describes the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the deity, who works with unrestricted divine power to overcome sin. She emphasizes that there are three living Persons in the heavenly trio: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This Helper represents the fullness of the deity and is essential for the work of Christ's redemption to be effective in the believer's heart.
The third Person of the deity and the heavenly trio
»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 was accomplished by the Savior of the world.«
»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 work together with obedience.«
»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 who accept Christ as a personal Savior and believe in Him.«
»Christ has given His Spirit as divine power to overcome all inherited and cultivated tendencies toward evil and to imprint His own character upon His congregation.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
