  1. The Holy Spirit - 1 The Godhead: Part 6

  2. Who Is The Holy Spirit • The Holy Spirit is not: • Just a Divine influence • A cosmic fog that permeates all things • Just presence or personal spirit of God • As part of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit is a person and has all of the characteristics of Godhood (Col. 2:9).

  3. The Holy Spirit Is A Person • He has intellectual qualities • Makes choices (Acts 16:7) • He knows (1 Cor. 2:10-11). • He wills (1 Cor. 12:11). • He thinks (Acts 15:28). • He speaks (1 Tim. 4:1). • And so on—He has all of the qualities of an individual person.

  4. Our Need to Know The Holy Spirit • The Holy Spirit is often spoken of, but rarely understood. Why? • Lack of Scriptural knowledge. • Lack of teaching. • But certainly not a lack of revelation. • He is part of the Godhead. Therefore, in order to truly know our God, we must come to know the Holy Spirit!

  5. Our Need to Know The Holy Spirit • We know God exists through creation (Rom. 1:20). • But how do we come to know who God is? • What about Spiritual truths: heaven, hell, angels, etc. What about Christ, salvation, righteousness? We know because the Holy Spirit Teaches us! 2 Pet. 1:20-21; 1 Cor. 2:9-10; John 16:13

  6. Getting to Know the Holy Spirit • His Work in Creation • Gen. 1:2: He was present. • Ps. 104:30: He was involved in the creative process. • What was His role? • Not much given. • God create: Father willed, Christ creative agent, Holy Spirit…

  7. Getting to Know the Holy Spirit • Gen. 1:2 • Before He moved over the face of the deep “The earth was without form and void.” • After (or while He moved) the earth was being organized—a six-day process. • Therefore: • Father willed, directed • Christ created • Holy Spirit organized

  8. Getting to Know the Holy Spirit • Same Pattern is true with the establishment of the church. • Before the Holy Spirit was pored out, there was no church organization. • After (or while He was revealing all truth) the church was being organized. • Therefore: • Father willed, directed • Christ established • Holy Spirit organized
