Subject 12 : The Faith of the Apostles Creed
● God the Holy Spirit
God the Holy Spirit Is Not Just A Power, But He Also Has Character
The
Holy Spirit, “Ruwach Qadowsh” in Hebrew, and “Πνεῦμα ἅγιον” (pronounced
pnevma aghion) in Greek, is the third Person of the Trinity.
The
Apostles’ Creed makes a very terse confession of faith in the Holy
Spirit, only stating, “I believe in the Holy Spirit.” It is very
important that the saints know correctly who the Holy Spirit is and what
His works are. And we must also know about the gifts of the Holy
Spirit, which will be discussed later part of this section.
When
we confess that we believe in the Holy Spirit, before we think of some
mystical power possessed by Him, we must first pay particular attention
to the fact that we receive the Holy Spirit only when we believe in God
the Father and the works of the Son. Many Christians have a tendency to
think that they can receive the Holy Spirit whenever and as frequently
as they need Him, but this is a profoundly mistaken thinking. We must
realize that the Holy Spirit is not an angel, but He is God to whom we
must given our worship and praise. Like this, we can receive the Holy
Spirit when we believe in God the Father and the works of the Son.
