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 searches all things, even the deep things of God.” as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 2:10.

The Scripture itself declares that the Holy Spirit has a mind as mentioned in Romans 8:26–27 and we can say this without any doubt when we notice the following scriptures.

Firstly, the Holy Spirit prays as in 1 Corinthians 14:15, which requires a mind.

Secondly, the Holy Spirit searches the hearts, which requires a mind as in 1 Corinthians 2:10.

Thirdly, the Holy Spirit teaches, which requires a mind as mentioned in John 14:26.

Fourthly, the Holy Spirit us as stated in John 14:26, which requires a mind.

Fifthly, the Holy Spirit testifies as mentioned in John 15:26, which again requires a mind.

So, with the backing up of the scripture Romans 8:27, we conclude that the Holy Spirit has a mind.

BLESSING IN GIVING

The most important thing we learn from the living Triune God is everyone who has a relationship with the living God cannot stop himself from giving. The Scripture in John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” So, if we have a relationship with the living Triune God then it would be normal for us to give. 2 Corinthians 9:7 informs us that God loves a cheerful giver. It is mandatory that tithe, offering, and whatever God puts in our heart we must offer to Him cheerfully. For whatever we are and we have received is given to us by God. God has taught me this principle in the beginning of the ministry and it is no wonder that God blessed me and made me a blessing for others. I can tell you with my own experience along with the authority of the Word of God and with assurance I can say that those who sow cheerfully would never lack. Luke 6:38 clearly mentions: “Give, and it will be...

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. ...
