I Believe in the Holy Spirit
John 15:26-27 NRSV
John 16:1-15 NRSV
The Trinity:
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit exist in relationship with one another through love.
“The doctrine of the Trinity shows us the same God, the One God, for ever at work in Creation, in Redemption, and in Providence. The Power which created, the Love which redeems, the Grace which sustains are the one and the same, and have been, are, and will be in action from all eternity to all eternity.” —William Barclay
Romans 8:26
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.
1 Corinthians 12:7
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
The Holy Spirit invites us to trust and to use our gifts as stewards for the church and the world. How are you using your gifts?
What we believe, what we believe in, compels us to act. Belief without action isn’t really belief at all.
