Many, who often hear the gospel of Christ, are yet but little affected, because
they are void of the Spirit of Christ. But whosoever would fully and feelingly
understand the words of Christ, must endeavour to make all his life like in its
beauty unto His. What will it avail thee to dispute profoundly of the Trinity,
if thou be void of humility, and art thereby displeasing to the Trinity? If thou
didst know the whole Bible by heart, and the sayings of all the philosophers,
what would all that profit thee without the love of God and without grace. -
Thomas a Kempis
God the Father is a deep root, the Son is the shoot that breaks forth into the
world, and the Spirit is that which spreads beauty and fragrance. - Tertullian
The water is an emblem of the cleansing and purifying influence of the Holy
Spirit; and the whole of the act itself signifies a consecration of the person
to the endless service and glory of the ever blessed Trinity, that is, Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit, in whose name he has been baptized. - Adam Clarke
God
the Father is the giver of Holy Scripture; God the Son is the theme of Holy
Scripture; and God the Spirit is the author, authenticator, and interpreter of
Holy Scripture. - J. I. Packer
