who is the holy spirit. how does the holy spirit works

 

We hold that the Holy Spirit shares the same fundamental nature as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. However, He is also unique from them.


When the Bible declares that the Holy Spirit educates, guides, comforts, and intercedes, it does not characterize Him as an impersonal force but as a person.He has emotions, intelligence, and will.2 Philip was addressed by the Holy Spirit, who also offered guidance to the Jerusalem church.He was deceived and wronged by sin.



The deity of the Holy Spirit is likewise confirmed by the Scriptures. He is referred to as God and is known by the name Jehovah.5 God resides within a Christian who is filled with the Spirit.6 The qualities of god, such as omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, and eternality, are all possessed by the Holy Spirit.He performs divine functions like creation, regeneration, and sanctification.8 He shares a similar relationship to the other Trinity members.9


The Holy Spirit's role in the Old Testament was somewhat different from that in the New Testament. In certain cases, the believer's possession of the Holy Spirit was not enduring.10 In addition to aiding in the world's creation, the Spirit had a role in restraining sin.11


Today, the application of salvation to the individual is mostly done by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is the one who convicts the unbeliever and makes him clearly understand the gospel's truth.12 Those who put their faith in Jesus Christ in response to this conviction are given eternal life and a new nature.


The believer is included into the church, which is the body of Christ, through the Holy Spirit.14 He also links the believer to Christ in His death, giving him the power to triumph over sin in his life.15 The Christian who bows to God and submits to God's Word is under the control of the Holy Spirit.The believer manifests the fruit of the Spirit and lives in the power of the Spirit when these criteria are met.


The Christian has a permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit.18 The Spirit will never depart from a genuine believer, even though the child of God may sin and offend the Spirit.19 The mark of the unsaved is a lack of the Holy Spirit.20 The believer is sealed by the Holy Spirit.

The safety of the Christian is assured by this ministry "until the day of redemption."22

Each Christian is endowed with unique spiritual gifts or capacities for service by the Holy Spirit.23 The rapture will end His ability to curb evil in the world, yet He will still be present on earth. The Spirit will play a role in salvation and filling during the tribulation.25 The Spirit will be in God's people and the Spirit will be upon the King in the soon-to-arrive kingdom of Jesus Christ.
