Who Are You

The Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity. He has a personality and will of His own even though He is intimately united with the Father and the Son. John 14:16-17

The Holy Spirit’s divine attributes.

- Omnipresent (Present everywhere) Psalm 139:7
- Omniscient (All knowing) 1 Corinthians 2:10
- Omnipotent (All powerful) Luke1:35;Romans 15:19
- Eternal (Hebrews 9:14)

What are the Holy Spirit’s distinctions?

- He has a will and emotions. (1Corinthians 12:11)
- He can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30)
- He shows love (2 Timothy 1:7)
- He groans (Romans 8:26)
- He has a mind of His own. (Romans 8:27) NKJ

The Holy Spirit has many titles.

1. He is our teacher (John 14:26)
2. He is our comforter (John 14:16)
3. He empowers us to tell people about Jesus (Acts 1:8)
4. He distributes His  gifts to us (1 Corinthians 12:8-10)
5. He produces fruit within us (Galatians 5:22-23)
6. He helps keep you from sinning (Galatians 5:16)
7. He reprimands the world (John 16:8)
8. He helps Christians pray when they do not know what to pray (Romans 8:26)
9. He helps Christians enter into a deeper realm of praise  (1 Corinthians 14:15)

How can the Holy Spirit help you?

-He will TEACH you all things. (John 14:26)
-He will REMIND you of all things that Jesus said to you. (John 14:26)
-He will TESTIFY of Jesus. (John 15:26)
-He will GUIDE you into all TRUTHS. (John 16:13)
-He brings GLORY and HONOR to the name of Jesus (John 16:14)

When the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples, they immediately received a better knowledge and understanding of Jesus Himself…
…more than when Jesus was physically present with them on earth!

John 16:7-10 But it is actually best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Counselor won’t come. If I do go away, he will come because I will send him to you.  8 And when he comes, he will convince the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.  9 The world’s sin is unbelief in me.  10 Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more.
