MY DIARY

The concept of the Trinity in Christianity teaches that God is one being in three persons : God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit . They are distinct but share the same divine essence. God the Father – The Creator and source of everything. He sent Jesus into the world and loves His creation. God the Son (Jesus Christ) – The Word made flesh (John 1:14). He became human to save people from sin through His death and resurrection. God the Holy Spirit – God’s presence in the world, guiding, comforting, and empowering believers. An analogy sometimes used is water , which can exist as ice, liquid, and vapor—different forms, but still the same substance. However, the Trinity is a divine mystery beyond human comprehension. Here are some key Bible verses related to the Trinity and the distinction between God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: 1. One God in Three Persons Matthew 28:19 – "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, b...

Walking Daily in the Power of the Holy Spirit To live a Spirit-filled life, we must understand how to yield to, be led by, and be empowered by the Holy Spirit. 1. Be Filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18) "Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit." Being filled with the Spirit means surrendering to His control daily. Just as alcohol influences a person’s actions, the Holy Spirit should influence and direct our lives. This is not a one-time event but a continuous process . ✅ How to be filled with the Spirit? Confess any known sin (1 John 1:9). Yield every area of your life to God (Romans 12:1-2). Ask the Holy Spirit to fill and guide you (Luke 11:13). Stay in God’s Word and prayer (Colossians 3:16). 2. Walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-17) "Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." Walking in the Spirit means living under His direction moment by moment. It...

  The Holy Spirit’s Role in the Trinity The Holy Spirit is fully God , co-equal with the Father and the Son, yet distinct in His role within the Trinity. He is not a separate deity or a lesser being but is one with God in essence and purpose. 1. The Holy Spirit is Equal with the Father and the Son (Matthew 28:19) "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Jesus commands baptism in the name (singular) of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This shows that all three persons share one divine name , proving their unity. If the Holy Spirit were just a force, Jesus would not have included Him in this declaration alongside the Father and Son. 2. The Holy Spirit’s Fellowship with Believers (2 Corinthians 13:14) "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." Paul acknowledges all three persons of the...

The Personhood of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is not just an impersonal force or power but a divine Person with intellect, will, and emotions . He speaks, teaches, guides, and has a relationship with believers. 1. The Holy Spirit Speaks and Calls (Acts 13:2) "As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’” The Holy Spirit spoke directly, giving a clear command. He said, “ I have called them ,” showing that He makes decisions and has a will . Only a person, not a mere force, can issue a personal calling and command . 2. The Holy Spirit Teaches and Reminds (John 14:26) "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." The Holy Spirit is called the Helper (Parakletos) , which means advocate, counselor, or comforter —a term that implies personhood...

  The Holy Spirit’s Role in Creation and Life The Holy Spirit is actively involved in both creation and giving life , demonstrating His divine power. 1. The Holy Spirit’s Role in Creation Genesis 1:2 – The Spirit was Present at Creation "The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." The Holy Spirit was actively present at the beginning of creation, hovering over the waters. The Hebrew word for "hovering" (מְרַחֶ֖פֶת meraḥefet ) conveys the idea of movement and energy , like a bird brooding over its nest, ready to bring life. This shows that the Spirit was involved in shaping and preparing the world for life. Job 33:4 – The Spirit Gives Life "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life." This confirms that the Holy Spirit was not only involved in creating the universe but also in forming human life . T...

  The Divine Attributes of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit possesses divine attributes that belong only to God: Omniscience (All-Knowing), Omnipresence (Everywhere-Present), and Omnipotence (All-Powerful). 1. Omniscience (All-Knowing) The Holy Spirit knows everything, including the thoughts of God and the deepest things of creation. Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 2:10-11 – "But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God." The Spirit has full knowledge of God’s mind, which only God can have. John 14:26 – "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." The Holy Spirit teaches all things , showing He has complete knowledge. Isaiah 40:13-14 – "Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as His counselor has taught Him? With whom did He take counsel, and who instruct...

  The Holy Spirit is God 1. Acts 5:3-4 – Lying to the Holy Spirit is Lying to God This is one of the clearest passages affirming the Holy Spirit’s divinity. Verse 3: "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?" Verse 4: "You have not lied to men but to God." Here, Peter first states that Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit , and then immediately clarifies that he lied to God . This direct equivalence shows that the Holy Spirit is God. 2. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 – The Spirit is the Lord Verse 17: "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Verse 18: "...this comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." Paul explicitly states that "the Lord is the Spirit," showing that the Holy Spirit is not a separate lesser being but fully divine. 3. The Holy Spirit is Called "God’s Spirit" in a Personal Wa...

Here are several key scriptures that affirm the divinity of the Holy Spirit: 1. The Holy Spirit is Called God Acts 5:3-4 – As we discussed, Peter equates lying to the Holy Spirit with lying to God. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 – "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." This verse identifies the Spirit as the Lord. 2. The Holy Spirit Possesses Divine Attributes Omniscience (All-Knowing): 1 Corinthians 2:10-11 – "The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God." Omnipresence (Everywhere-Present): Psalm 139:7-8 – "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?" Omnipotence (All-Powerful): Job 33:4 – "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life." 3. The Holy Spirit is Involved in Creation and Life Genesis 1:2 – "The Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." This shows the Spirit’s role in crea...
