Who Is The Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. 

References to the Holy Spirit are numerous in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is coequal and coeternal with God the Father and God the Son in every divine attribute. Each works differently and occupies a different role with respect to the divine work of salvation. 

Although referred to as a source by many, the Holy Spirit is a person. The Holy Spirit possesses all the divine attributes of God -attributes such as 

• omnipresence (Psalm 139:7 - Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?), 

Another Divine Helper

John 14:16-18

Have you ever wished you had a 911 number that rang in heaven whenever you had a need? Well, I have good news for believers. We all have divine assistance that’s even closer than a phone call: our Helper dwells within us. But if we are unaware of Him, we’ll miss many opportunities to benefit from the greatest asset in our Christian life—the Holy Spirit’s presence.

Christ knew that when He left the earth, His disciples would be totally inadequate for the task He was giving them—to evangelize the world. Though they’d spent three years with Jesus, all they had seen and learned would still not sufficiently equip them for what lay ahead. They needed supernatural help, and so do we—someone who will come to our aid, empower our service, and transform us from the inside out.
