HSC104 The Doctrine of the holy Spirit 4
The visible creation makes the personality of God the Father somewhat easy to conceive; the incarnation makes it almost, if not altogether, impossible to disbelieve in the personality of Jesus Christ; but the acts and workings of the Holy Spirit are so secret and mystical, so much is said of His influence, graces, power and gifts, that we are prone to think of Him as an influence, a power, a manifestation or influence of the divine nature, an agent rather than a Person.
For illustration, see 1 Thess. 3:11—“"Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.” Yet we must remember, in this connection, that the apostolic benediction in 2 Cor. 13:14 does associate the three persons of the Trinity, thereby asserting their personality equally.
