Over the
centuries the work of the Holy Spirit has continued in the world. Although there
are factions within Christianity that even deny the existence of the Holy
Spirit, or attribute His work to some kind of “supernatural force.” People tend
to not believe in things they cannot explain. Science does its best to answer
the unanswerable questions that mankind deals with but falls short of logical
explanation of everything. Religion is one of those areas in which science
leaves it up to each individual as to what one believes because there are no
foundational scientific principles that regulate that what one believes is real
or not. It exists in the mind or life of the individual as far as science is
concerned. The Holy Spirit of God exists and always has according to the Holy
Scriptures. Whether one believes the Scriptures are the Word of God or not does
not change the truth that God has revealed to mankind within them. The fact
that God has inspired the Scriptures and has revealed to us the mystery of
where we came from, what we are here for, and where we are going is the basis
of the Christian belief or faith. Therefore believing the Scriptures we believe
in the Holy Spirit. As a Divine Personality, not the third person of the
Godhead, but rather a person of the Godhead, equal in power, authority, and
existence, His function is the personal manifestation of the invisible God in
the person of Jesus Christ and in the lives of each person that is willing to
believe in Christ, submit their will to His will, and accept His offer of
forgiveness of sin. [1]When
one makes the decision to do that then the Holy Spirit will come into that
persons heart (the inner man) and begin to reveal the will of God to the
individual. [2]If
you choose not to believe in the whole Jesus thing or the Bible, then you will
never know the truth.
The Holy
Spirit is working in the world today within those who are willing to let Him
work through them. [3]We know
how evil the world can be today but if it were not for the Holy Spirit still in
the world, you could not even imagine how bad it would be. The Holy Spirit is
the inspiration for all that is good in the world. His influence upon humanity
is God’s grace toward us. [4]All
the good attributes that exist in people today first existed in God. Even those
who reject or rebel against God and Jesus are still loved by them. They Holy
Spirit is the Link that connects us to Jesus the Son who connects us to God the
Father. [5]You
may be like the people in Ephesus who had not even heard of the Holy Spirit
until the Apostle Paul told them about Him. If you have ever given God or Jesus
a single thought, you can thank the Holy Spirit for it. [6]Were
it not for Him we would have never known about God or Christ.
