The Trinity

“Is not the Father holy, and the Son holy, and both equally holy with this Holy Spirit?”

“And what is it that makes Christ so happy but that He is equal with God the Father?”

“But Christ and the Father, both the persons are in one substance, in one essence.”

“The Persons of the Godhead have different roles in the plan of salvation: the Father chooses the objects of salvation, the Son redeems them, and the Spirit sanctifies them, applying redemption.”

“You value the things (every one of them) which God hath given us; then value the Spirit much more, who is the author of the most, and discoverer of them all.”

“In order to prove that there is a covenant between the Father and the Son, formed in eternity, and revealed in time, it is not necessary that we should adduce passages of the Scriptures in which this truth is expressly asserted.”

“Once again, it is God to whom belongs the application of redemption as God the Holy Spirit.”

“We cannot be one with Him as Christ is, for He is the brightness of His glory, the express image and character of His person; He is the natural Son of God and of the same nature with God.”

“He had a Son to give away, and his Son a life, a kingdom; and both of them agreed to do it.”

“The Father did give the Son a work to do, and He did promise to Him a reward upon its accomplishment.”

“Eternal Spirit, mighty source of light and inward life, give Your help!”

“The Father beseeches; the Saviour invites; the Spirit calls; good angels beckon; Christ's ministers entreat; and the one dear sound which they make to echo through earth, and to pierce the wanderer's ears, is, enter in.”

“As God the first person, by way of singularity, ordinarily is called the Father, ‘one God, the Father;’ so frequently in the same way of singularity is Christ termed the Son, in relation unto this God as the Father.”

“Christ, however, was not a human person: his human body and soul together were united to his divine person. 2.”

“He was a Father that exacted this ransom for souls; and he was his own Son that paid it.”

“Now Christ lives not the natural life but, as He is God, lives the uncreated life, and as He is man He lives the spiritual life, His body and soul having all their subsisting and sustentation in the second person in [the] Trinity.”

“A blessing God—a blessing Savior—a blessing Spirit are at hand.”

“You must know, brethren, God the Father, who is the great quickener, he is the author, the great fountain of life; and Jesus Christ, as God-man, hath life given from the Father to him that he might raise us.”

“Sometimes all about the Father and his free grace takes up our thoughts, and the soul runs out that way; and sometimes the Son, and sometimes the Spirit, employ all our thoughts, as indeed we must adore every person in his office.”

“The Father works from himself; the Son works from the Father; the Holy Spirit from them both.”

“But the Son of God was as perfect afore assuming man’s nature as after, and nothing of perfection is added unto him thereby.”

“The Son is of the same divinity as the Father, and the Holy Spirit is of the same divinity as the Father and the Son.”

“They see what had been hid from their eyes so long; they see Jesus of Nazareth to be the Saviour, their God, Jehovah.”

“Sometimes it is said that Christ gave himself, and sometimes it is said that God the Father gave Christ.”

“The Father may send the Son, may give Him a work to do, and promise Him a recompense.”

“And the substance of the Godhead of Christ is incommunicable.”
