DIVINITY
The Holy Spirit is not only a person he is a Divine PERSON - He is GOD!
This of course raises the issue of the Trinity and we have all sorts of problems getting our limited minds around it. I confess that I can not fully comprehend how there can be three distinct persons but one and the same God. These three according to scripture are the same in substance and equal in power and glory - One God subsisting in three persons. This is tough to grasp, because of our limited frame of reference and we are frequently accused of worshipping three Gods. However, while we can not fully comprehend the idea of the trinity, we can do three things:
1. Find abundant scriptural reference to His Divinity
2. See that He is linked in an equal relationship with the father and the Son
3. Experience His presence and power in our lives.
Consider just a few of the scriptures MT 28:19 , Acts 5:3-4 , Heb 9:14 , Jn 3:5-6 , Matt 12:28 , Ps 139:7-13 , ICor 2:10 , Rom 15:19
Billy Graham put it this way: The Father is the source of all blessing, and the Son is the channel of and blessing and it is through the Holy Spirit at work in us that all truth becomes living and operative in our lives...
