Holy Spirit
The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is the third Person in the Triune Godhead and is fully divine.
We believe He is:
- Eternal (Hebrews 9:14)
- Co-equal with the Father (Matthew 28:19; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 12:2-6)
- Convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment, John 16:8-11;
- Glorifies Jesus Christ, John 15:26;
- Regenerates the unsaved, John 3:5-8;
- Indwells the believer, John 14:16-18; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20;
- Comforts the afflicted, John 14:16, 26;
- Equips the saints with gifts, Romans 12; Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12;
- Sanctifies. Romans 15:16;
- Unifies the body, Ephesians 4:3;
- Teaches us the Word of God, John 14:17, 26.
- We are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18),
- The evidence of His presence in our lives will be the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22).
