THE HOLY SPIRIT THE SOURCE AND THE SUSTAINER OF HOLINESS,RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH IN A BELIEVER. HE IS THE SOURCE AND THE SUSTAINER OF HUMAN LIFE He is God,He is the source of life.He comes in and make way for Jesus to take His perfect place.In the creation in Genesis 1:2 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.He was upon the surface,before Jesus the Light appeared.He works in every disorganized environment caused by Satan. He was in the beginning of everything made by God.He prepared the spiritual way,by reducing Jesus from His deity into humanity. Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the HOLY GHOST. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the HOLY GHOST. Here the father of Jesus in physical sense is the Holy Spirit He prepared the virgin Mary,qualified her to be the first person that Jesus could dwell in.Then after,all believers are being prepared by the Holy Spirit to enable Jesus to dwell inside of their Human Spirit The Personality of the Holy Spirit. It is a fundamental revelation that the Holy Spirit is a Person, in the sense that the Father is a Person, and the Son is a Person. Without denial of the one Essence of the Godhead, the personality of the Holy Spirit must be affirmed and is subject to proof unassailable by any who accept the Scriptures as authoritative. The personality of the Holy Spirit has been attacked by Confucius and his followers ancient and modern who have held to the general position that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal energy proceeding from God. Socinians deny the distinct personality of the Holy Spirit; they concede eternity, because they regard the Spirit as the influence or effluence of the eternal Gods power . THE PERSONALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AFFIRMED BY HIS ATTRIBUTES. (1) It may be noted that the Holy Spirit possesses the essential of mind or intelligence. The Scriptures explicitly affirm that the Holy Spirit exercises a moral and sovereign will comparable to that of the other Persons of the Trinity In connection with the sovereign bestowal of spiritual gifts on men, the Spirit is said to accomplish this “as he will” (1 Cor 12:11). The essential of mind or intelligence is further confirmed by His works. His works indicate intelligence, knowledge, and the normal functions of personality. Personality, which is an attribute of His Person, is demonstrated by the actions of the Person. The attributes of omniscience (1 Cor 2:10-11) is evidence of the existence of mind and intelligence on a plane of deity. (2) The Holy Spirit possesses life (Rom 8:2) which is an essential of personality. On the human level, possession of life is taken as proof of possession of personality, one without the other being impossible. As the Holy Spirit possesses life, personality is necessary. A mere influence or emanation does not possess the attributes of life, even if it should proceed from God. Life on a moral plane is always associated with personality. (3) The deity of the Holy Spirit is conclusive evidence of personality, as sustained in the material upholding the deity of the Holy Spirit to be given in a later section. If it may be assumed here that God possesses personality, if the Holy Spirit is a Person of the Trinity, He in turn possesses personality. The two doctrines are mutually sustaining. HE HAS HIS OWN WILL,JESUS SAID IT IN JOHN 15:26. HE SPEAKS IN ACTS 13:2-3 HE HAS WINGS LIKE ANGELS.SO HE DESCENDED LIKE DOVE AT THE BAPTISM OF JESUS ON JORDAN RIVER.MATTHEW 3:13 PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS FOR MORE.https://youtube/watch?v=J0LrUeLwI8w
