How do we know that the Spirit is a person?

  Jesus Christ Himself addresses Holy Spirit as a person and not as a material. When He, the Spirit of   Truth has come, He will guide you in all truth as revealed in John 16:13. Just as you have a unique personality, so does the Holy Spirit. In fact, there are characteristics ascribed to Him that only a person (i.e., being with intellect, emotion and will) can possess. Not only does He have the ability to think, communicate and express His love; He is also easily grieved by our careless words and actions. Here are some specific traits by which we would clearly know that the Holy Spirit is a person. They are as follows: HOLY SPIRIT HAS A MIND Can the Holy Spirit think? Can He remember? According to the Word of God, He has all the abilities like that of any human being. He has a mind, He has the ability to explore, examine and search. This is what the Spirit of the Lord can do. For example, we cannot understand the things that God has prepared for our future; for “…The Spirit s...
  Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” The word ‘saved’ in Greek is ‘Sozo’ which means salvation and its other meanings are:  (a) forgiveness of sin,  (b) healing or health,  © peace,  (d) prosperity,  (e) eternal life and  (f) blessing.  So, the one word ‘Sozo’ not only means forgiveness of sins but it also includes healing, health, peace, prosperity, eternal life, and blessings. But when one talks of Salvation only as forgiveness of sins, then it is too shallow because it is just like a father who has a hundred crores in his bank account, and although the son is entitled for the entire amount but spends only a few lakhs for the rest of his life and struggles for list of the things. Here, it is not the father’s fault, rather it’s the ignorance on the part of the son to not fully utilize what the father has in store for him. Exactly in the...

Why temple veil torn..?

Do you know that when Jesus Christ died, the veil on the temple was torn in two parts from top to bottom (Mark 15:38)?  The word ‘temple’ in original language is ‘Naos’ – often denotes only the innermost sacred part of the building. So, what did God want to say from the above-mentioned verse? The answer is, in the Old Testament, God’s presence was behind the veil in the innermost sacred part of the temple and in the New Testament, that presence has come out of that place and God speaks to His people by residing in their hearts. In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit who is the third person of the Trinity, would come upon a person only for a specific time and a specific purpose and after that particular purpose was achieved and the time was over the Holy Spirit had to leave. But in the New Testament, due to the veil of the temple being torn, every believer now can be filled with the Holy Spirit.                        ...
