THE PERSONALITY AND DIVINITY OF THE SPIRIT

Two views have been entertained concerning the Holy Spirit:  (1) That it is a divine influence proceeding from the Father, an emanation from or manifestation of the divine, or a mere impersonal force. (2) That he is a person and active in all the ways of a personality.  That the latter view is the correct and Scriptural one is evident from the following considerations: 

1.  HIS WORKS PROCLAIM PERSONALITY.

(1) He speaks. “But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith” (1 Tim. 4:1).  A speaker is a person; no influence or principle can speak.

(2) He testifies. “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me” (John 15:  26).

(3) He teaches and quickens the mind. “But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you” (John 14:26).
