Title: THE PERSONHOOD OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Post by: teddybear on August 05, 2003, 06:32:31 AM
Christ said,When He is come...Divine revelation is called the personhood of the Holy Spirit,the Spirit of truth (John 16;8).

There are 160 listed actions of the Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testament.Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as a person 13 times in the gospel of John,chapter 16.

READING,
John 16;7-8,Nevertheless I tell you the truth.It is to your advantage that I go away;for if I do not go away,the Helper will not come to you;but if I depart,I will send Him to you.

Verse 8-And when He has come,He will convict the world of sin,and of righteousness,and of judgment.

THE THIRD ENTITY.
The study of the person of God,the Holy Spirit,the third entity of the Divine Trinity,is of tremendous importance to the living Church of Christ today.

The Church needs to know that;
A.THE HOLY SPIRIT is not just a blessing to be received.
B.THE HOLY SPIRIT is not just an experience.
C.THE HOLY SPIRIT is not just an influence.
D.THE HOLY SPIRIT is not a neuter gender or an impersonal pronoun-It! He is a noun-Holy Spirit.
E.He is a Comforter who feels.
F.He is a Teacher who educates.
G.He is the Guide to follow.

THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
A.The Holy Spirit does not speak about Himself,He testifies about Jesus.
John 15;26-But when the Helper comes,whom I shall send to you from the Father,the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,He will testify of Me.

B.He shall glorify Jesus.
John 16;16-17-A little while,and you will not see Me;and again a little while,and you will see Me,because I go to the Father.

Verse 17-Then some of His disciples said among themselves,What is this that He says to us,A little while,and you will not see Me;and again a little while,and you will see Me;and,because I go to the Father.

C.He is the Creator.
D.He is the Convicter.
E.He is the Sealer.
F.He is the Enabler.
G.He is the Comforter.
H.He is the Revealer of divine truth.
I.He is the Builder.

Ephesians 2;20-22-Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone.
Verse 21-in whom the whole building,being joined together,grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
Verse 22-in whom you also are being together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

God Bless.
To be contiuned.
