Who is the Holy Spirit?


Who is the Holy Spirit?

 

 

When the Helper comes, He will prove to the people of the world the truth about sin, about being right with God, and about Judgment.  He will prove to them that sin is not believing in Me.  He will prove to them that being right with God comes from My going to the Father and not being seen anymore.  And the Helper will prove to them that judgment happened when the ruler of this world was judged.--------John 16:8-11

 

Some of the titles for the Holy Spirit are:

Breath of the Almighty, Job 33:4

Comforter, John 14;16, 26

Eternal Spirit, Heb. 9:14

Power of the Highest, Luke 1:35

Spirit of the Lord God Isa. 61:1

Spirit of the Lord, Isa. 11:2

Spirit of God, Gen. 1:2, Job 33:4

Spirit of Christ, Rom. 8:9

Spirit of Grace, Zech. 12:10

Spirit of Wisdom, Isa. 11:2

Spirit of Counsel, Isa. 11:2

Spirit of Might, Isa. 11:2

Spirit of Understanding, Isa. 11:2

Spirit of Knowledge, Isa. 11:2

Spirit of Truth, John 14:17; 15:26

Spirit of Holiness, Rom. 1:4

Spirit of Revelation, Eph. 1:17

Spirit of Judgment, Isa4:4; 28:6

The Apostle John, tells us of the convicting work of the Holy Spirit, also known as the Helper.  These verses are the words of Christ Jesus.   He begins telling us of the work of the Spirit of Truth, He says that the Helper, “will prove to the people of the world the TRUTH about sin, about, being right with God, and about judgment.  

Let us look at some of the work of the Spirit of Revelation, the Helper will prove to the people of the world that sin is not believing in Christ Jesus.  The Helper REVEALS to the people their sins and the greatest sin is the failure to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to convince and convict the people of their need for Christ.

The work of the Spirit of Knowledge is to help the people to see that being right with God comes from Christ going to the Father and not being seen anymore.  The RESURRECTION and the ASCENSION vindicates Jesus as God’s RIGHTEOUS servant and because of this we are made RIGHT with God, when we ACCEPT His gift of Salvation. 

 

The work of the Spirit of Judgment took place at the DEATH and RESURRECTION of Jesus this was the condemnation of Satan.  Jesus defeated Satan and DEATH when He died on the cross. This brought about the DEFEAT of the one who once held the power of death.  And Satan’s “execution” is coming. 

Those who are in rebellion against God should be aware of Satan’s defeat and they too have an “execution” coming unless they turn from their unbelief and ungodly life-style to Christ and seek His forgiveness by:  CONFESSING their sins before God and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL their Heart that Jesus died for THEM and is in Heaven, making intercession for them, before God, then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION and the HELP of the HOLY SPIRIT.  Do it NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s waiting!!!
