The Deity of the Holy Spirit
Introduction
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. Christian is the believer who lives with the Holy Spirit. Christian is not only a believer who adheres to an understands dogmas and knows about the Bible and but the Christian is a part of a living community that lives and grows with the Holy Spirit. Thus, whoever does not have the Spirit of God; one is not a Christian (Rom. 8: 9).
Protector
The Holy Spirit exists to protect and guide the believers from evil (one) and enables them to escape from sin and temptation. The Holy Spirit has intellect, emotion and will, who helps the believers to have a relationship with God. Once becoming a believer, no one can deny the help of the Holy Spirit. Every believer needs the help of the Holy Spirit. There are many spirits in the world. However, that does not mean that every spirit belongs to God. There exist the evil spirits. The Bible shows ways to discern the spirit to believers.
Sanctifier
The Holy Spirit convicts the hearts of the believers. He does it to make sure that Christians do not slide back into former ways of living, instead He renews them each moments to remind whom they belong to. He teaches, reminds and corrects each believers heart and way of living. This will make believers to live a godly life and lead deeper into a sanctification, and perfect.
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but not every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world” (1 John 4:1-3, NIV).
Conclusion
As a Christian waits for the second coming of Jesus Christ, one must not grieve the Holy Spirit, rather each Christian must live and have being in the Holy Spirt's guidance and leading. These will guranntee a perfect and holy live in this world.
