the third Person of the adorable Trinity.

His personality is proved (1) from the fact that the attributes of personality, as intelligence and volition, are ascribed to him ( John 14:17 John 14:26 ; 15:26 ; 1 Corinthians 2:10 1 Corinthians 2:11 ; 12:11 ). He reproves, helps, glorifies, intercedes ( John 16:7-13 ; Romans 8:26 ). (2) He executes the offices peculiar only to a person. The very nature of these offices involves personal distinction ( Luke 12:12 ; Acts 5:32 ; 15:28 ; 16:6 ; 28:25 ; 1 Corinthians 2:13 ; Hebrews 2:4 ; 3:7 ; 2 Pet 1:21 ).

His divinity is established (1) from the fact that the names of God are ascribed to him ( Exodus 17:7 ; Psalms 95:7 ; Compare Hebrews 3:7-11 ); and (2) that divine attributes are also ascribed to him, omnipresence ( Psalms 139:7 ; Ephesians 2:17 Ephesians 2:18 ; 1 Corinthians 12:13 ); omniscience ( 1 Corinthians 2:10 1 Corinthians 2:11 ); omnipotence ( Luke 1:35 ; Romans 8:11 ); eternity ( Hebrews 9:4 ). (3) Creation is ascribed to him ( Genesis 1:2 ; Job 26:13 ; Psalms 104:30 ), and the working of miracles ( Matthew 12:28 ; 1 Corinthians 12:9-11 ). (4) Worship is required and ascribed to him ( Isaiah 6:3 ; Acts 28:25 ; Romans 9:1 ; Revelation 1:4 ; Matthew 28:19 ).
