Knowing the Person of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a part of the Holy Trinity with the Father and Son. In the Old Testament the Hebrew word (ruwach, pronounced roo'-akh) was used when talking about the Spirit. This word literally means WIND, even the wind associated with a BREATHE! In the New Testament the Greek word (pneuma, pronounced pnyoo'-mah) was used which means the BREATHE or a BREEZE! We can literally think of the Holy Spirit as the "Breathe of God!"
Most Christians today understand Jesus the Son, and God the Father as two very distinct Persons within the Godhead; however, there has been much confusion over the identity of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps some of this dates back to the King James translation of the Bible where the word "Spirit" or "Ghost" was used instead of "Breathe" or "Wind" of God. In any case, many people throughout the ages have thought of the Holy Spirit more as a thing than a Person. Nothing could be further from the truth, and in fact as we begin to know the Person of the Holy Spirit we will want to have a closer relationship with Him just as we would the Father or Son.
Although the word Trinity is not mentioned in the Bible, we know God is three in one. There are three very distinct Person’s that make up the Godhead. They are all equal in every way.
They (The Father, Son and Holy Spirit) are all:
Omnipotent – All powerful. Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
Omnipresent – At all places at once. Psalms 139:7 Where shall I go from your Spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?
Omniscient – All knowing. 1 Corinthians 2:10 But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Eternal - Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal

    We grieve the Holy Spirit when we ignore the Holy Spirit leading us in the way of compassion and love, the way of Christ. Absalom could have lived up to his name, the “father of peace,” but he did not. We do not always live up to the name of Christian. Sometimes we grieve the Holy Spirit; yet, God has not given up on us; God has not abandoned us; but, God’s heart is…

    The fact that Jesus is God and man is difficult for our human minds to get a grasp on. The combination of his deity and humanity is explained in the doctrine called the Hypostatic Union. The union is described in this way. “ In the incarnation of the Son of God, a human nature was inseparably united forever with the divine nature in the one person of Jesus Christ, yet with the two natures remaining distinct, whole and unchanged, without mixture or confusion, so that the one person , Jesus Christ, is truly God and truly man.”…

    Initially, the historical background is also of importance in this debate. “The Nicene Council in A.D. 325 was concerned with defending the Divinity of The Lord Jesus Christ against the Arian heresy. As such, the creed formulated by its fathers said little about the Church’s belief about The Holy Spirit. The Council of Constantinople in A.D. 381 was again concerned with defending the Divinity of The Lord Jesus Christ, but was also concerned with defending the Divinity of The Holy Spirit. For that reason, it expanded the Creed formulated by the previous Council in the section pertaining to the Church’s belief regarding The Holy Spirit. This section then read: “ We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the life-Giver, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke…

    It accepts that the Godhead exists in three ontologically equal yet distinct beings in the persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Their essence as members of the Godhead is verily the same, there is no iota of difference or distinction between any of them to the other insofar as their ontological being is concerned. They have always been God, they have always been members of the Triune God and there is perfect and complete unity and community within themselves. Their relationship with each other is also unique to and from the other. “The Father is the Fount of divinity, the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; the Spirit is eternally proceeding from the Father. These relationships, while marking the distinctiveness of identity of each Person, do not in any way limit or lessen the complete and equal divinity of each…
