Topic : Holy Spirit, deity
Clear in Scripture
The deity of the Holy Spirit ought to be clearly recognized in Scripture. Look at these facts:
Christ is born; the Spirit is His forerunner.
Christ is baptized; the Spirit bears witness.
Christ is tempted; the Spirit leads Him up.
Christ ascends; the Spirit takes His place.
What great things are there in the character of God which are not found in the Spirit? What titles which belong to God are not also applied to Him? He is called:
the Spirit of God
the Spirit of Christ
the mind of Christ
the Spirit of the Lord
the Spirit of adoption
the Spirit of truth
the Spirit of liberty
the Spirit of wisdom
the Spirit of understanding
the Spirit of counsel
the Spirit of might
the Spirit of knowledge
the Spirit of godliness
the Spirit of the fear of God
This only begins to show how unlimited He is.
- Gregory of Nazianzus
