Trinity: Part 3 – The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the most enigmatic member of the Trinity. Jesus gives the gift of His Spirit to all Believers when they are Born Again and is therefore called “the paraklete,” which is Greek for helper or comforter. “Paraklete means “the one who is alongside.” The Holy Spirit is definitely a person in that we can grieve Him and we can delight Him. He points everyone to Christ and reminds us of everything Jesus taught. His main role is to glorify Christ by helping us live out the life that Christ calls us to live. We know He is at work within us by the fruit that we produce. Romans calls us to “walk in the Spirit” and not give into our natural, sinful, instincts. The Holy Spirit prompts us not only to avoid evil, but He guides us to do God’s will, making us agents of God.
