The Holy Spirit: Person or Force?

R.A. Torrey’s on the importance of the personality of the Holy Spirit:

“The doctrine of the personality of the Holy Spirit is also of highest importance from the practical standpoint. If we think of the Holy Spirit only as an impersonal power or influence, then our thought will constantly be, how can I get hold of and use the Holy Spirit; but if we think of Him in the Biblical way as a divine Person, infinitely wise, infinitely holy, infinitely tender, then our thought will constantly be, ‘How can the Holy Spirit get hold of and use me?’”
