Many people are mistaken about the Spirit of God … the Holy Spirit. They think the Spirit is some kind of force, but the truth is God’s Spirit is a person. He is the third person of the Holy Trinity which consists of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Yes, three different persons, but just one God.

Don’t believe it? I would say to you what God has said in His Word. “You do error not knowing the Scriptures.” and “My people perish for the lack of knowledge.” Let’s look at the Scriptures and let me ask some questions. Can a force be lied to? No, but a person can. Read the story of a man and his wife who God slayed for lying to the Holy Spirit where God said they lied to God. (Acts 5:3) A force can’t be personal, but the Holy Spirit is. The Holy Spirit is always referred to as He, His or Him … never it. The Holy Spirit can be grieved as He has emotions. (Ephesians 4:30) We can sin against Him. (Isaiah 63:10) We are to obey Him (Acts 10:19-22) to honor Him. (Psalm 51:11) The Holy Spirit has life (Romans 8:2), has a will (1 Corinthians 12:11), is omniscient (1 Corinthians 2:10–11), is eternal (Hebrews 9:14), and is omnipresent (Psalm 139:7). A mere force could not possess all of these attributes, but the Holy Spirit does. The Holy Spirit should be revered as God for He is God.
