The
Holy Spirit is God. He is not only part of God, but is the third person in the
Trinity. The Trinity consist of the Father, Jesus the Son of God and the Holy
Spirit. In this Trinity, the word of God teaches us that they are ONE God. This
means that they operate as a unity but each has a different function. After
Jesus ascended to God the Father in heaven, he said to his disciples that he
will send another helper.
Jesus
is saying he will send another helper, in the original he use the word ‘another
of the same kind’. It is interesting to note that the Holy Spirit and the women
is the only two persons referred to as helper in the bible. When Jesus speaks
of the helper he uses personal pronouns and personal titles.
Calling
the Spirit ‘him’ stating that he is not an impersonal force, but indeed a very
real person. The Holy Spirit has a mind; he can express intelligence will and
emotions. We also see in the word that the Spirit can be grieved and insulted,
resisted and quenched. And the Spirit of God can be blasphemed.
