We Believe In The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. He is not the least in the Godhead and has the same power and the same glory with God the Father and God the Son (John 14:16-17; 15:26, Matthew 3:16). He is one with the Father and the Son, who is to be worshiped and served. Three persons that become one are the source of blessings to all creatures in Heaven and on Earth (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 John 5:5-7).
The Holy Spirit has a great work to perform. Some of which are listed below.
- He teaches (1 John 2:27).
- He speaks to men and bears witness in us (Acts 16:6-7)
- He performs the work of regeneration for man (John 3:5-6)
- He also performs the work of sanctification in the born again souls until they are fully sanctified (John 16:8, Ephesians 1:17-19, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, 1 Corinthians 6:11).
- He endows believers with gifts they can use (1 Corinthians 12:7-11).
- He empowers one in the Lord (Acts 1:8).
