Holy Spirit

God himself present and active in the world and in believers—the third person of the Trinity.

The Holy Spirit was at work in creation, empowered prophets, and was poured out on the church at Pentecost. He convicts, comforts, and guides.

The Spirit lives in believers, producing his fruit and giving gifts, assuring them they belong to God.
