Knowing the Holy Spirit



The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity.  He is at work in the world, is intimately involved in the life of the Church, and indwells the individual believer (1Corinthains 6:19).   He sanctifies (Gal 5:22-23), empowers, and equips (Ephesians 4:11, 1Corithieans 12:4-11, Romans 12:6-8, 1Peter 4:11).  We encounter the Holy Spirit in many ways in life, even in times when we are not aware.  It is the Holy Spirit who nudges us into faith and belief, and then takes us far beyond that into a Life in Christ.  Baptism is the Sacrament of the Holy Spirit setting our feet upon the path that leads eternally to the throne room of God.   We know it is truly the Holy Spirit speaking and acting when it is in accordance Holy Scripture.
