THE HOLY SPIRIT
HE IS THE THIRD PERSON
OF THE HOLY TRINITY
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19

spirit of that person, which is in him? So also
no one comprehends the thoughts of God
except the Spirit of God. 1st Corinthians 2:11
HE IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD
And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went
up from the water, and behold, the heavens were
opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending
like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a
voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son,
with whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:16
HE IS A PERSON
And you became followers of us and of the Lord,
having received the word in much affliction,
with joy of the Holy Spirit. 1st Thessalonians 1:6
HE HAS EXISTED SINCE TIME BEGAN
The earth was without form and void, and darkness
was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God
was hovering over the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2
For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20
HE IS THE AUTHOR OF ALL SCRIPTURE
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in
righteousness, that the man of God may be competent,
equipped for every good work. 2nd Timothy 3:16
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of
any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by
the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they
were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2nd Peter 1:20
You search the Scriptures because you think
that in them you have eternal life; and it is
they that bear witness about me. John 5:39
For this reason we also thank God
without ceasing, because when you
received the word of God which you
heard from us, you welcomed it not as
the word of men, but as it is in truth, the
word of God, which also effectively works
in you who believe. 1st Thessalonians 2:13

truth will set you free. John 8:32
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is freedom. 2nd Corinthians 3:17
And we impart this in words not taught
by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit,
interpreting spiritual truths to those who
are spiritual. 1st Corinthians 2:13
When the Spirit of truth comes, he
will guide you into all the truth, for
he will not speak on his own authority,
but whatever he hears he will speak,
and he will declare to you the things
that are to come. John 16:13
HE GIVES LIFE
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits
nothing. The words that I speak to you are
spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
And the angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will
come upon you, and the power of the Most High will
overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will
be called holy, the Son of God. Luke 1:35
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way.
When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph,
before they came together she was found to be with
child from the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath
of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4

the woman and said to her, “Indeed now,
you are barren and have borne no children,
but you shall conceive and bear a son. Judges 13:3

And if anyone’s name was not found
written in the book of life, he was thrown
into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15
So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will
come forth, separate the wicked from among the
just, and cast them into the furnace of fire. There
will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:49
HE IS GOD’S PROSECUTOR
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your
advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away,
the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will
send him to you. And when he comes, he
will convict the world concerning sin and
righteousness and judgment: John 16:7
HE IS A GIFT FROM GOD
And Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38

Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?

love has been poured into our hearts through the
Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:5

Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Galatians 4:6

love of God and the fellowship of the Holy
Spirit be with you all. 2nd Corinthians 13:14
He who has prepared us for this very
thing is God, who has given us the
Spirit as a guarantee. 2nd Corinthians 5:5
HE RESIDES WITHIN US
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will
put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone
from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will
put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes and be careful to obey my rules. Ezekiel 36:26
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that
God’s Spirit dwells in you? 1st Corinthians 3:16

gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were
sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13

were sealed for the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30
And who has also put his seal on us and given us his
Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 2nd Corinthians 1:22
WE LIVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL THROUGH HIM
These things God has revealed to us through
the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything,
even the depths of God. 1st Corinthians 2:10
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead
dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the
dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through
his Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:11

its sound, but you do not know where it comes
from or where it goes. So it is with everyone
who is born of the Spirit. John 3:8
If we live in the Spirit, let us also
walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:25

not of perishable seed but of
imperishable, through the living
and abiding word of God. 1st John 1:23

according to Your word. Psalms 119:107
Sanctify them in the truth;
your word is truth. John 17:17

new creation. The old has passed away;
behold, the new has come. 2nd Corinthians 5:17

being renewed in knowledge after the
image of its creator. Colossians 3:10

to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13

Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of
our God. 1st Corinthians 6:11

perfected for all time those who are
being sanctified. Hebrews 10:14
HE TEACHES US RIGHTEOUSNESS
And do not get drunk with wine, for
that is debauchery, but be filled
with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18
But the anointing that you received from
him abides in you, and you have no need
that anyone should teach you. But as his
anointing teaches you about everything,
and is true, and is no lie, just as it has
taught you, abide in him. 1st John 2:27
For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the
hope of righteousness by faith. Galatians 5:5

but be transformed by the renewal of
your mind, that by testing you may discern
