Chapter 3—Three Persons in the Godhead
There are three living persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of
these three great powers—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—
[442]
those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powers
will co-operate with the obedient subjects of heaven in their efforts to
live the new life in Christ.—
Evangelism, 615
.
The Godhead was stirred with pity for the race, and the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit gave themselves to the working out of the
plan of redemption.—

Those who proclaim the third angel’s message must put on the
whole armor of God, that they may stand boldly at their post, in the
face of detraction and falsehood, fighting the good fight of faith, resist-
ing the enemy with the word, “It is written.” Keep yourselves where
the three great powers of heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, can be your efficiency. These powers work with the one who
gives himself unreservedly to God. The strength of heaven is at the
command of God’s believing ones. The man who takes God as his
trust is barricaded by an impregnable wall.—

Our sanctification is the work of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. It is the fulfilment of the covenant that God has made with
those who bind themselves up with Him, to stand with Him, with
His Son, and with His Spirit in holy fellowship. Have you been born
again? Have you become a new being in Christ Jesus? Then co-
operate with the three great powers of heaven who are working in
your behalf. Doing this you will reveal to the world the principles of
righteousness.—

The eternal heavenly dignitaries—God, and Christ, and the Holy
Spirit—arming them [the disciples] with more than mortal energy,
... would advance with them to the work and convince the world of
sin.—
