The Holy Spirit
God the eternal Spirit was active with the
Father and the Son in Creation, incarnation, and redemption. He inspired the
writers of Scripture. He filled Christ's life with power. He draws and convicts
human beings; and those who respond He renews and transforms into the image of
God. Sent by the Father and the Son to be always with His children, He extends
spiritual gifts to the church, empowers it to bear witness to Christ, and in
harmony with the Scriptures leads it into all truth. |
