Attributes of the Holy Spirit

 I mentioned in an earlier post this week about attending a class taught by DVD's on the Holy Spirit.  For our consideration this weekend I want to steer you to some deeper understanding about the attributes of the third person of the Godhead.  Spend some time in thought, and in prayer and meditation on these names which enlighten us about the Spirit's workings.

1.  He is referred to in Ephesians 4:4 as One Spirit, signifying unity.

2.   In Hebrews 9:14 He is called the Eternal Spirit, an attribute of being everlasting.

3.  The Spirit of Glory is a name used in 1 Peter 4:14 for us to understand His glory is like that of the Father and Son.

4.  Calling him the Spirit of Life in Romans 8:2, affirms his eternal nature.

5.  Paul uses the term Spirit of Holiness in Romans 1:4, to teach us of the holy attribute of the Spirit.

6.  He is called the Spirit of Wisdom in Ephesians 1:7, with another reference from Exodus 28:3.

7.  He is the Spirit of Truth, according to Jesus' words in John 14:17.

8.  The Hebrew writer calls him the Spirit of Grace in Hebrews 10:29.

9.  Closely related is the reference to The Spirit of Grace and Supplication in Zechariah 12:10.

10.  John simply calls him the Holy One in 1 John 2:20.

There are other terms by which he is called, but we'll focus on these ten.  What a wonderful time of study as we read these passages, with each one revealing the workings of the Holy Spirit.  Your study time will be greatly rewarded.
