Scripture shows us aspects of the Godhead and also tells us what it is not..
Acts 17:29-Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
The Father and Son each have individual and seperate wills, yet work in harmony.
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Luke 22:42
The Holy Spirit also has a will. The Spirit distributes gifts to Christians “as He wills”(1 Corinthians 12:11). But it is God who sets members in the Church “as He pleases”(1 Corinthians 12:18).
Genesis 1:2 - He “was hovering over the face of the waters”(compare Deut 32:11). Genesis 6:3 - He strives with sinners. Psalm 51:11; 139:7 - Indicate His personality (in their contexts). Isaiah 48:13 - He can be informed, as by a counselor. Matthew 1:18, 28 - Jesus conceived by the Spirit (also Luke 1:35). Matthew 12:31-32 - He can be blasphemed (also Luke 12:18). Luke 2:25-27 - Simeon “came by the Spirit into the temple.” John 3:5,6,8 - People are “born of the Spirit.” Acts 5:3,4 - He can be lied to. Acts 7:51 - He can be resisted. Acts 13:2 - He uses the first-Person pronouns “Me” and “I.” Acts 21:4 - Disciples speak to Paul “through the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 13:14 -“communion (or fellowship) of the Holy Spirit”(also Phil 2:1). Ephesians 4:39 - He can be grieved (also Isaiah 63:19). Hebrews 9:8 -“the Holy Spirit is indicating this.”
