How to Explain HolyWe understand what mean HolyA man who drinks or kills others or steal others things is said to be un holy or a sinner.But those who don’t do such things cannot be called Holy.The Bible says that God alone is HolySo what should we do to become Holy?Also the Bible says that people who are not Holy cannot go to Heaven That is why people try and do many things to make themselves Holy. They give offerings or make sacrifices to their gods. But the Bible says these are not acceptable to God because they go back and do the same bad things again and againThe Bible says people who even say lies are angry with others are unholy. So how can one become Holy

God’s one more work of creationGod created everything nice and good and beautifulThe Bible says only from the heart all bad things are coming up It is our bad ideas that make us do wrong thingsSo the only way is to give get a new heart It will be a heart that is filled with Godly thoughts and do what Is pleasing to GodLet us see what a father does if a child gets bad mark in mathHe gets a teacher to help him in mathsSo also God sends a teacher to help us in our life who keeps correcting us and fill our heart with godly ideas.So we need to have the Holy Spirit the teacher all the time Jesus said He would stay with us all the time

Spirit/ PersonThe second word I SpiritWe should not be confused or arid at the word Spirit Spirit is something we cannot seeGod who created the earth and all things also unseen because He Is in Spirit formJesus love although He came to Earth as a man is also now in Spirit formGod’s Holy Spirit I also in spirit form
In the universe we live many things we see are also in vapour or spirit form The sun and the big stars though look like solids are only clouds or vapourSo God who created them is also like that but unseenScientists say all matters are made of atoms but we cannot e atoms with our eyes

Unseen but exists
There are many things we cannot touch or see but they exist
For example sound waves cannot be touched or seen but it exists
Also air cannot be touched but be felt.
Light can be seen but we cannot touch it
God is a person real but we cannot touch him

Person
What do we mean by a personWe say He is good person or a bad person by what he does or say
Actually we mean what he doesAs good person also becomes bad person when he does something bad
Also we say a person is one who has feelings , he thinks or he acts or moves and so on
A dead body does not do all these things
Nor do animals and plants who have life like us are said o be persons
So also we don’t call planets or stars as person though they move even though they don’t have life
So what do we mean by person?

God is a person
A person I one who interacts with others one who is able to think and feel not only for himself but for other and one who Is able to decide ht is good or bad
God does everything good and He knows what is bad that we do
He knows more about what makes u bad and knows how to make us and keep us good that we are good not only for ourselves but to others
God made everything good and so let us try to keep everything good

The Trinity
We say God created everything.Jesus came to earth as a man to save us –to make us good and take us to Heaven.
And HOLY spirit is here to keep us good and holyHow do we explain this? It is difficult to talk how God looks and how He acts But In Chemistry we talk of water asIce is a solid.Water is a liquidSteam is a vapourBut Chemistry uses only one formula H₂O for thisSolid ice is heavy and cool and rigidWater is flexible and miscibleSteam is hot and powerful moving things

Water
The three are the same but seem to have different properties
We cannot drink ice and it does not mix with other things
Jesus is like water giving life to us and quenching our thirst. It is flexible with us
Holy Spirit is hot and not very much visible like steam but it has enormous power to move machines like the steam engine or turbine

There are four types of people1. I don’t know anything about it but I like to learn
2. I am not sure if I have received.3. I want the Holy Spirit but don’t want tongues
4. I want power to lead victorious life
Why people don’t receive the Holy Spirit?.
