Reflection
1. Some people are afraid of the Holy Spirit because of the supernatural things that are manifested by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is divine. He shall never do evil things, but the things which are pure and holy.
2. The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father to Christian believers as the substitute for the Lord Jesus Christ when He ascended into the presence of the Father.
3. The Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian manifests in various ways. But the main manifestation is spiritual rebirth.
4. Deeper spiritual experiences are developed as we learn to become submissive and obedient to the guidance and leading of the Holy Spirit.
5. The Holy Spirit is divine, and fellowship with the Holy Spirit means fellowship in holiness—doing things that are pure and pleasing to God.
6. The Holy Spirit is with us always; we have to acknowledge His presence.
7. The Holy Spirit is God. But some people regard Him merely as a force. There are many other indications that the Spirit is a Person and not a force or influence. The Holy Spirit knows and understands (Rom. 8:27; 1 Cor. 2:11). The Holy Spirit communicates in words (2 Cor. 2:13). The Holy Spirit acts and chooses (1 Cor. 12:11). The Spirit loves (Rom. 15:30), can be insulted (Heb. 10:29), can be lied to (Acts 5:3), can be resisted (Acts 7:51), and can be grieved (Eph. 4:30). The Holy Spirit teaches (John 14:26), intercedes (Rom. 8:26), convicts (John 16:7-8), bears witness (John 15:26), and guides (John 16:13). Each of these activities testifies to the fact that the Spirit is a person, not an impersonal influence.
