"God hath not given us the Spirit of fear, but of power, and of love,
and of a sound mind." 2 Tim. 1: 7. I. The Holy Spirit is a Person.

The Holy Ghost is a distinct individual, and not a vague influence, or a
phase of Divine working.

Just as there are three judges on the bench, constituting the one court,
three persons in the household, constituting the one family, so there
are three distinct persons in the Godhead, yet forming together the one
Deity, and more perfectly one in nature, volition, and action than it is
possible for any created beings to harmonize.

The Holy Spirit is constantly spoken of in the Scriptures as possessing
the attributes of a person. The personal pronoun is used to describe Him
not it, but He; and the strongest and most distinctive of the Greek
pronouns, that word ‘autos,’ which means ‘himself,’ and
distinguishes personality, as no English term can, is often used of Him;
as, for example, in 1 Cor. 12: 11, "That one and the self-same Spirit."
Again, the attribute of will is ascribed to Him in the same passage, "as
He will," and there is no stronger proof of personality than the power
of choice. It is the most distinctive thing in any human being, and it
is constantly attributed to the Holy Ghost.

Again, all the emotions proper to a person are ascribed to Him; He
knows, loves, is grieved, is provoked, vexed, resisted, and, in short,
is susceptible to all the feelings that are proper only for an
intelligent person.

II. The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person.

This glorious Being is no less than God. He receives the divine names.
Peter tells Ananias that in lying unto the Holy Ghost he has not lied
unto men but unto God. Christ declares that in casting out devils by the
Holy Ghost, He does it by the finger of God. He possesses Divine
attributes; He is omniscient; "The Spirit searcheth all things;"
omnipresent; "Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit, or hide from Thy
Presence;" omnipotent; for Christ declares that, "The things that are
impossible with men," namely, the salvation of the human soul, "are
possible with God," and it is the Holy Ghost that converts the soul,
therefore, He must have the omnipotence of God.

He is called the Holy Spirit, and holiness is a Divine attribute. Again,
He performs the works of God; He was a partaker in the work of creation;
the Spirit of light, order, beauty and life. He accomplishes the
regeneration and sanctification of the soul which are divine works; He
effected the incarnation and resurrection of the Son of God, and He will
participate in the final resurrection of the saints of God from the
tomb, at the Lord\
