Message #18 – The Triunity of God: The Holy Trinity (Part 5) – “The Spirit is God”

Feb 7, 2021 • Pastor Mark Geer • Series: Systematic Theology for Daily Living / Text: John 14:16-17, 26; 15:26; 16:7-14; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 2:10-12; 3:16-17; 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

In today's final message on the Holy Trinity we examine what the Bible says about the Third Person of the Godhead ~ the Holy Spirit. And as you will discover, we believe unquestionably that The Spirit is God.

Today we explore the strong Biblical teaching of Scripture concerning the Deity and Divinity of the Holy Spirit. These include how the Holy Spirit is treated as a person in the Scriptures, including personal pronouns used of Him, personal characteristics (intellect, sensibility and will), and also the personal acts of the Spirit which are incredibly numerous! We also explore His personal relationship with the Father and Son and how He is capable of being treated personally in a variety of ways. Finally, we unpack the well-defined claims of the Bible concerning the Holy Spirit's deity, including His divine attributes, words and works. You will be left with only one question: Do I believe in this marvelous mystery? I hope you do!

This Systematic Theology Series that covers the topic of the Triune God ~ The Holy Trinity comprised of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is an incredible topic! It is an amazing study of the most inner nature and essence of God and how He has revealed Himself to us through Scripture as the One True God, consisting of three distinct and divine Persons within one united essence!

Does that sound confusing? Interesting? Complex? Mysterious? You are not alone. This is one of the most incredible revelations the Bible gives to us in both the Old and New Testaments. We hope these messages will bring clarity to this revelation of who God is for you and that you will also feel more intimately and personally connected to God. This doctrine of the Trinity has the ability to enable you to relate to God in wonderful ways that you might have never dreamed possible: as your Heavenly Father, as the glorious Son who came to be your Savior, and as the indwelling Holy Spirit of God who has come to be our Comforter, Counselor, Teacher, Guide, Intercessor and Empowerment.

Our desire for this broader study of Systematic Theology is to take a practical look at the study of God and various elements of biblical and spiritual truth which are designed to help us all understand God and draw us nearer to Him as our Creator and to Jesus Christ as our Savior.
