Holy Spirit

Who is the Holy Spirit?

God’s Response

He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. John 14:17

The Holy Spirit . . . will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. John 14:26

One of the great mysteries of the Christian faith is that God is three beings in one—God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God became human in Jesus so that he could die for our sins. Jesus rose from the dead, demonstrating his power over death and offering salvation and eternal life to all people who believe in him. When Jesus ascended into heaven, his physical presence left the earth, but he sent the Holy Spirit so that his spiritual presence would still be among humankind. Because you are a believer, the Holy Spirit lives in you.

This Is Promising

We know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:5
