I Am A Person. The Spirit of God is
a person with emotion, a will and intelligence. He is not simply an abstract power. He is known as the Spirit,
the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth and by many other names. The Spirit is never referred to as “it” but
as “He” or “Him” (John 14:16, 17, 26; 15:26). Look up the following passages and find
a characteristic of the Holy Spirit which reveals that He is a person.
I Help You. Each person in the Trinity has different roles. God the Father has
the leadership role. It is He who has planned the future of the world and ourselves (Matt. 24:36). He has developed
the master plan for our salvation: He predestined us, forgave us, revealed the future and has given us an inheritance
in heaven (Eph. 1:3-14). It is the Father whom the Son of God and the Holy Spirit willingly and freely serve
(John 4:34 and 14:26). It is His will that is done in heaven (Matt. 6:9-10).
God the Son - Jesus Christ - is our Savior from sin (2 Peter 1:11), our High Priest who cares
for us (Heb. 3:1) and the coming King who will reign (Isa. 9:6; John 18:37). By Him all things came into existence
and all things are maintained. The Holy Spirit serves both the Father (Gal. 4:6) and Jesus (John 15:26). He
was active in the creation (Gen. 1:2) and has moved men to write scripture (2 Pet. 1:20-21). He is the author
of the divine Bible. Today, the Holy Spirit is actively involved in the lives of men and women on this planet.
The following questions will reveal how He minsters to us.
16. The Holy Spirit helps us become Christians. How does He do
that according to John 16:8 -10?
