What is holyspirit In the New Testament, the divine Spirit of God, the Holy Ghost, becomes more personal. He now comes to be sealed within the believer. Ephesians 1:13: “…in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.” John 14:17 – “Even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him; but ye know Him for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” The New Testament believer becomes the temple of God. (I Corinthians 3:16) The Christian is the place of divine abode among men; while the church is the house of the Living God. “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the Living God, the pillar and ground of truth.” (I Timothy 3:15) The church is the body of Christ. “For as we have many members in one body and all members have not the same office. So, we being many are one body in Christ and every one members one of another.” (Romans 12:4-5) The Holy Spirit is a person, not an impersonal force or influence. The Spirit of God has personal qualities and personal functions. The Spirit of God is God Himself present in the world of man working out His own purposes. “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13) In Jesus’ farewell message in the Gospel of John Chapters 14 through 16, Jesus speaks of the Holy Spirit as if He is speaking of a personal friend. He refers to Him as that One (Greek: ekeinos) using the masculine personal pronoun. “Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you (John 16:7).” “And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8).” “When He the Spirit of Truth is come, He will guide you into all truth; for He shall not speak of Himself, but whatever He shall hear, that shall He speak and He will show you things to come (John 16:13).” May the Holy Spirit quicken us to these truths.
