Life In The Spirit!
John 14:16-17
And I will pray to the Father, and He

Spirit of truth – whom the world cannot
receive because it does not see Him, or
know Him – but you know Him, for He
dwells with you, and shall be in you.

An important truth
The Holy Spirit is a Person,
Who is God Himself,
Come to live with you forever.
The Holy Spirit is a Person
1. Not a thing
2. Not energy
3. Not an influence
4. Not a force
5. Not an “it”
What He does
1. Searches
2. Prays
3. Gives gifts
4. Can be grieved
5. Speaks to people
The Holy Spirit is God
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
1. He is called God
2. He is called eternal
3. He is omnipresent
Cooperation in the Trinity
Now there are varieties of gifts,
but the same Spirit. And there are
varieties of ministries, and the same
Lord. There are varieties of effects,
but the same God who works
all things in all persons.
(1 Cor. 12:4-6)
Here to live with us always
“…I will pray to the Father, and He
shall give you another Comforter,
that He may remain with you forever,
the Spirit of truth – whom the
world cannot receive…”
(John 14:16-17)
Better for you
It is better for you that I go away;
for if I do not go away, the Comforter
will not come to you; but if I depart,
I will send him to you.
(John 16:7)
