Bible Question: please could someone explain the holy spirit to me thanks |
Bible Answer: Greetings Gilly, I hope the following will help you understand who the Holy Spirit is in Scripture. Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead or adorable Trinity. His personality is proved (1.) from the fact that the attributes of personality, as intelligence and volition, are ascribed to him (Joh_14:17, Joh_14:26; Joh_15:26; 1Co_2:10, 1Co_2:11; 1Co_12:11). He reproves, helps, glorifies, intercedes (Joh_16:7-13; Rom_8:26). (2.) He executes the offices peculiar only to a person. The very nature of these offices involves personal distinction (Luk_12:12; Act_5:32; Act_15:28; Act_16:6; Act_28:25; 1Co_2:13; Heb_2:4; Heb_3:7; 2Pe_1:21). His divinity is established (1.) from the fact that the names of God are ascribed to him (Exo_17:7; Psa_95:7; compare Heb_3:7-11); and (2.) that divine attributes are also ascribed to him, omnipresence (Psa_139:7; Eph_2:17, Eph_2:18; 1Co_12:13); omniscience (1Co_2:10, 1Co_2:11); omnipotence (Luk_1:35; Rom_8:11); eternity (Heb_9:4). (3.) Creation is ascribed to him (Gen_1:2; Job_26:13; Psa_104:30), and the working of miracles (Mat_12:28; 1Co_12:9-11). (4.) Worship is required and ascribed to him (Isa_6:3; Act_28:25; Rom_9:1; Rev_1:4; Mat_28:19). Blessings, Ken John. |
