Definition #5: Holy Spirit


Like the Father and Jesus, The Holy Spirit is a member of the Trinity. The Spirit is not an “it” or an impersonal force that pervades the universe. The Spirit is God. The work of the Spirit is to convict of sin, bring meaning to the Scriptures (illumination) and is the agent of new life (regeneration).
The Sprit of God also guides, reminds, prays for and gifts the Christian for the work of God’s kingdom. The presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Christ follower is constant, unlike some Old Testament people who experienced the coming and going of the Spirit.
