HOLY SPIRIT Holy Spirit: 1 Cor. 2:9-11, but just as it is written, " Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him." For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. The Bible teaches that God is one God and that there are no other gods. The Bible also clearly distinguishes between three parts or Persons of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, known as the Trinity. The Holy Spirit has personality because He possesses the essential characteristics of personality, namely, intellect, emotion, and will. When a person accepts Christ as Savior, the Holy Spirit comes into (indwells) his life permanently. The Holy Spirit indwells for the purpose of glorifying Christ, but indwelling alone does not guarantee that Christ will be glorified by the believer's life. For this reason, Christians are commanded to be habitually "filled" with the Holy Spirit.
