The Holy Spirit Is A Person

"When the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all truth ...", John 16:13.

"Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen." The Gloria Patri.

Do you worship the Holy Spirit as a person? If not, you are robbing Him of His due. The biblical view of the Holy Spirit is that He is a person of great majesty, and worthy of our worship and praise. Many Christians think of Him as an 'it'. The difference is huge.

If we think of the Holy Spirit as merely an influence or power, our motive will be to get hold of the Holy Spirit and use 'it' for our advantage. The result is pride. But if we think of the Holy Spirit correctly, our motive will be to surrender ourselves to Him so He can use us for whatever purpose He chooses. The result is humility.

That is something to ponder. – David Shropshire

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14
