I. The Holy Spirit Is a Person in the Godhead

A. Gen. 1:1-2, 26 He Was Active in Creation

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

=====================================

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: …

B. Plural Persons Can Be Distinct Yet UnitedGen. 2:24 Husband & wife are one flesh

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.


9


B. Plural Persons Can Be Distinct Yet UnitedActs 17:26 Many nations are of one blood

26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;


10


B. Plural Persons Can Be Distinct Yet UnitedJn. 17:21 Many believers are one body

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.


11


B. Plural Persons Can Be Distinct Yet UnitedJn. 17:21 Father & Son are one God



12


C. Each Divine Person Is DistinctThe Father is a person

The Son is a person

The Holy Spirit is a person He is not a mysterious divine fog,

electricity, or better-felt-than-told emotion


13


D. The Spirit Is Directly Referred to as GodActs 5:3-4 Lying to the Spirit is lying to God

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.


14

II. The Spirit’s Role Was to Reveal All Truth

A. Jn. 16:7-13 He Will Convict Men by Truth

15

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.


16

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.



17

II. The Spirit’s Role Was to Reveal All Truth

A. Jn. 16:7-13 He Will Convict Men by TruthThe Spirit revealed all truth to the Apostles

By the power of truth he will convict men Of sin: love of sin prevents faith in Christ Of righteousness: Christ completed

God’s plan for our salvation Of judgment: Satan’s defeat is certain!


18

III. The Holy Spirit Revealed God to Man

A. Acts 17:24, 29 God exists not as an idol

24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;=====================================

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.


19


B. Matt. 28:19 God is one in three persons

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:


20

D. 1 Cor. 2:9-10 He Revealed God’s Will

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.


23

IV. The Spirit Reveals Our Relationship to God

A. Gen. 1:1, 27 God Created Man in His Image to Know, Love, & Serve Him 1 In the beginning God created the heaven

and the earth.=====================================

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.


24

in Serving God—We Are Accountable to Him

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Cor. 6:19-20 The Spirit dwells in us when we glorify God by obeying Him

33

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

39

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

45

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Rev. 21:1-8 God prepared heaven for His people, hell for Satan’s followers

46

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.


47

6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.


48

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
