"The Communion of the Holy Ghost."—2 Cor. 13:14.
Our subject this morning is "The Personality of the Holy Spirit." No
series of sermons upon the Fundamentals of our Christian faith would
be complete without a sermon on the Personality and Deity of the Holy
Spirit. The doctrine of the Personality of the Holy Spirit is both
fundamental and vital. Any one who does not know the Holy Spirit as
a person has not attained to a complete and well-rounded Christian
experience. Any one who knows God the Father and God the Son, but who
does not know God the Holy Spirit has not attained unto the Christian
conception of God, nor to a fully Christian experience. It may seem
to you at first thought as if the doctrine of the Personality of
the Holy Spirit were a purely technical and apparently impractical
doctrine, but it is not so. As we shall see shortly, the doctrine of
the Personality of the Holy Spirit is a doctrine of the very first
practical importance.
