Introducing the Holy Spirit (Selected Scriptures)

The Bible teaches that there is one God existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—eternal in being, identical in nature, equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections, and worthy of the same worship, confidence, and obedience. Over the centuries, the Christian church has come to incapsulate this mind-bending, creature-humbling truth in a single word: trinity. 

Now, most Christians today eagerly worship God the Father and long to know and serve God the Son. But, relatively speaking, many are confused by God the Spirit. When it comes to the Spirit of God there’s often much we don’t know, things we wrongly think we know, and lots we’d still like to know. And, just as in our relationships with one another, the more ignorance that remains between us and our God, the more barriers to intimacy with our God. So, let’s get reacquainted with the third person of the trinity, the Holy Spirit, God in us.
