 Who is the holy spirit?

The Biblical truth is this: the Holy

Spirit is God, the third person in the
Trinity.
TRINITY (OR TRI-UNITY)

One God

Not Thr
ee
Gods
 The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the
Father and the Son

Matthew 28:19 2 corinthians 13:14

Therefore go and make May the grace of the

disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the
name of the Father and
of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit
Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the fellowship of
the Holy Spirit be
with you all.
When do we receive the holy spirit?

When we trust in Jesus Christ to be

our Lord and Savior.
 Ephesians 1:13-14
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation; in whom also, having believed, you
were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance
until the redemption of the purchased
possession, to the praise of His glory.
Whattext
does the holy spirit do for us?

He helps us and comfort us

He indwells us permanently and will never leave us (John 14:16-17)

16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and
be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it
neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be
in you.
Whattext
does the holy spirit do for us?

He helps us grow in Christlikeness (Galatians 5:22-23)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

He empowers us to witness to others about Jesus (Acts 1:8)

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be
my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

He gives us power over sin (Galatians 5:16)

16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Whattext
does the holy spirit do for us?

He gives us insight into God's Word (John 14:26)

26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will
teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

He helps us pray according to God's will (Romans 8:26-27)

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we
ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit
intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
 The Holy Spirit is the source of the
abundant and fruitful Christian life.

EPHESIANS 5:18
18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.
Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

tHE BIBLE DESCRIBES 3 TYPES OF PEOPLE:

The natural the holy spirit- the carnal

person filled person christian
 The natural person
Someone who has not received Christ

1 CORINTHIANS 2:14
14 The person without the Spirit does
not accept the things that come from
the Spirit of God but considers them
foolishness, and cannot understand them
because they are discerned only
through the Spirit.
The holy spirit-filled
person
Someone who lives in the power of the
Holy Spirit

ACTS 13:52
52 And the disciples were filled with
joy and with the Holy Spirit.

THIS IS THE NORMAL

CHRISTIAN LIFE.
 tHE cARNAL CHRISTIAN
Someone who lives in the power
of the flesh
1 CORINTHIANS 3:1-3
1 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you
as people who live by the Spirit but as people
who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2 I
gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not
yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.
3 You are still worldly. For since there is
jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not
worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? THIS IS THE ABNORMAL
CHRISTIAN LIFE.
 GALATIANS 5:19-21

19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual

immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry
and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage,
selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy;
drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I
did before, that those who live like this will not
inherit the kingdom of God.

we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
