Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back some of the price of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God. (NASB) Acts 5:3-5 Peter says Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit (v. 3). Then he adds something remarkable, “You have not lied to men, but to God.” Peter makes it clear that the Holy Spirit and God are the same. Here are some other passages that show us that the Holy Spirit is God. 1. According to Hebrews 9:14 how is the Holy Spirit different from human beings?
 2. Therefore, the Holy Spirit also existed when . . . (Genesis 1:2)?
3. According to Job 33:4, what role did the Holy Spirit have in your birth?
4. God is different from us in many ways. One of His unique characteristics is true of
the Holy Spirit. What is this characteristic according to Ps. 139:7?
5. Isaiah 40:13-14 tells us the Holy Spirit has another characteristic. What is it?
6. A characteristic of the Spirit of God that belongs only to God and we often overlook
is found in John 14:26. Two of the letters from this word are “o” and “y.” What is
the characteristic?
7. Jesus told the Jewish leaders they were guilty of denying that the Holy Spirit was God.
What word did He use in Matthew 12:31 to communicate this idea?
