Three Distinct Persons Are Seen in a Message On Gifts

"There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit, there are differences of administrations but the same Lord, there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all" (1Co_12:4-6).

We have here the Father and operations, the Son and ministrations, the Spirit and gifts.

The Father is one, the same God, but He is diverse in the operations whereby He worketh all in all; the Son is one, the same Lord, but there are diversities of ministrations through which He carries on His task; the Spirit is one, the same Spirit, but there are diversities of gifts with which He endows the children of men that they may carry on for God.

The same God, always the same; the same Lord, unchanging; the same Spirit, without a shadow of turning–three persons distinct and diverse in manifestation, but one Lord.
