The Holy Spirit Illuminates God’s Truth

Imagine you are entering a dark room. You can see the vague outline of furniture; a table here and a lamp there. It could be the most beautiful room full of Victorian furniture, impeccably decorated walls, and priceless artwork, but without the lights on, you can only see odd shapes and outlines. You cannot truly enjoy or appreciate the beauty without light to illuminate it for you! God’s truth is like that room. Mankind knows it’s there, but understanding it and applying it requires the light to be turned on.
1 Corinthians 2:10-13 – But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

God, The Holy Spirit

Acts chapter one records the promise Jesus made just before He ascended to heaven. He commanded those gathered to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the Father to send the Holy Spirit to them. Acts 1:4, 5 states, “And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, ‘which,’ He said, ‘you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.’” But, who is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit, the third person of the trinity, is God. He is omnipotent (Psalm 104:30), omniscient (1 Corinthians 2:10), and omnipresent (Psalm 139:7). He is one with the Father and the Son (Acts 2:33). And like the Father and the Son, He has a specific role in the life of every believer.
Reflection:
- In your own words, Who is the Holy Spirit to you?
- What does it mean to you that the Holy Spirit is God, just like the Father and the Son?
- As the third member of the trinity, have you ever stopped and wondered what His role is in your life?
