INTRODUCTION
The Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is the third person of the Trinity, the Triune God
manifested as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each entity itself
being God. Nontrinitarian Christians, who reject the doctrine of the Trinity, differ
significantly from mainstream Christianity in their beliefs about the Holy Spirit. The
Holy Spirit is referred to as "the Lord, the Giver of Life" in the Nicene Creed, which
summarizes several key beliefs held by many Christian denominations. The participation
of the Holy Spirit in the tripartite nature of conversion is apparent in Jesus' final post-
resurrection instruction to his disciples at the end of the Gospel of Matthew (28:19),
"Make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit," and earlier, "For where two or three are gathered together in
my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20)

CHRISTIAN MESSAGE
Doctrine: Doctrine: The coming of the Holy Spirit into the community of the disciples of
Jesus as promised by the Father through Jesus himself gave birth to the Church.
Morals: The Holy Spirit empowered the members of God’s family to live a new way of life
based on the Christ’s command on the love of God and neighbors.
Worship: Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit. Fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love
Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created and you will renew the face of the
earth.
Let us pray.
Lord, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the
same Spirit help us to relish what is right and always rejoice in your consolation. We
Have students read Acts 4:23-31.

The following are 10 ways the Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers.
1. The Holy Spirit is a helper who teaches and reminds
2. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin.
3. The Holy Spirit dwells in believers and fills them.
4. The Holy Spirit is a source of revelation, wisdom, and power.
5. The Holy Spirit guides to all truth, including knowledge of what is to come.
6. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to believers.
8. The Holy Spirit helps in a Christian’s weakness and intercedes for them.
9. The Holy Spirit makes believers new and gives them eternal life.
10. The Holy Spirit sanctifies and enables believers to bear good fruit in their lives.

Who is the Holy Spirit? – The Holy Spirit is a person.

1. Being a person, the Holy Spirit has feelings. He can become sad or angry, and others can
insult Him and blaspheme against Him (Is 63:10; Mt 12:31; Ac 7:51; Eph 4:30; Heb 10:29).
2. He has intentions, shows willfulness and discretion, loves, communicates, testifies,
teaches, and prays (Neh 9:20; Jn 15:26; Ac 13:2; Rm 8:26, 27; 15:30; 1Co 12:11). These
are qualities that distinguish Him as a person. 

The Holy Spirit was present during Jesus’ life on earth.

The Holy Spirit was present during each stage of Christ’s life. When the angel appeared to
Mary, the mother of Jesus, he declared: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power
of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy one to be born will be called the
Son of God” (Lk 1:35).

The Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers.

Jesus put a lot of emphasis on the Holy Spirit. He was the subject of intense prayer: “And I
will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. He is the
Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him.
But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be in you” (Jn 14:16-17). The
Lord mentions two points: the Holy Spirit was already real and He was about to come. At
that time, the Spirit dwelled with the disciples, but they lacked having Him in them. If the
Spirit of God was so important to the life of Jesus, how much more so for the lives of the
believers!

"Without a life full of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to build the body of Christ."
A gospel with no emphasis on the Holy Spirit is flat. In certain moments, when there was a
special manifestation of God, the New Testament emphatically states that the partakers
were filled with the Holy Spirit. This was the experience of many: John the Baptist was full
of the Spirit in his mother’s womb (Lk 1:15); Elizabeth, when Mary greeted her (Lk 1:41);
and Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, when he prophesied (Lk 1:67). Jesus, filled with
the Holy Spirit, was led by the same Spirit into the desert (Lk 4:1). The disciples were filled
with the Spirit in the upper room, and Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, stood up to preach
on the day of Pentecost (Ac 2:14). The young Stephen, full of the Spirit, saw the glory of
God when he was stoned (Ac 7:55-56); and Paul, inspired by the Spirit, rebuked a sorcerer
(Ac 13:9-11).

The Holy Spirit works in the world through Evangelism.

Referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus affirmed in John 16:8: “When he comes, he will convict
the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment.” The Lord used the legal term “convict”
in order to highlight that, even if man can point out an error, it is the Spirit that brings
conviction of sin. He shows the offense, reveals the foolishness of the sin, points out the
consequences, convinces of guilt, and leads the sinner to repentance. He is the church’s
greatest ally in its evangelizing effort. Without the help and the filling of the Spirit, the
evangelistic task of the church will fail.

"In order to receive the power of God, one does not need a religious formula, but
rather a relationship with a person."
In Acts 1:7, Jesus points out what the disciples are not to know, but in verse 8, the
emphasis is placed on what they are to know. With the adversative word “but,” Jesus
brings the off-track attention of the disciples to the primary concern at hand: they would
“receive power.” However, this depended on the Holy Spirit’s coming to them. Perhaps they
did not know this person of the Trinity very well, but the idea of receiving power must have
caught all of their attention. For over three years, these men had been witnesses of the
continual manifestation of God’s power through Jesus, and now the doors were being
opened for them to access this power that they had so admired.

The power of the Holy Spirit changes lives.

Acts clearly states how to recognize someone that is full of the Spirit: “You will be My
witnesses” (1:8). Love is a distinguishing mark of the disciples, while being a witness
distinguishes those who are full of the Spirit. It does not matter how many spiritual
experiences one may have, whoever does not testify of Christ does not show evidence of
being filled by the Spirit.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, what will be your stand regarding the following issues given.
Answer in the answer sheet provided.

Compose a prayer to the Holy Spirit asking help for us to deepen our relationship with
Jesus Christ. Do this in the answer sheet.

The role of the Holy Spirit was not only felt during the apostolic times. Until now the Holy
Spirit continues to work in the Church by unifying her members with one another. The role
of the Holy Spirit of leading the Church in modern times can be gleaned in the teaching
authority of the bishops.
