of the God-fearing people of the land can unite. I believe that there is only one God and this God is manifested in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit (trinity). He is the creator of the universe and of all life, the sustainer of all things, who is infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power and love. God is love and thus is a personal God establishing a personal relationship with those who are called His people. I believe man was created in the image and likeness of God. However

and doctrinal teachings that acknowledge the power of the Holy Spirit, however, they do not ascribe his actions and the power to an individual essence but rather to mere influence. I do believe that the Holy Spirit is a person, in-fact the Third Person of the Trinity who is equal with the Father and the Son in essence. When it comes to the individual acts of the Holy Spirit as recorded in scripture, Elmer Town says it best “the Holy Spirit does a number of things only a person can do; and it is

The Holy Spirit: In the writings of the apologists, there were no distinguish a third person for God’s nature. They gave impression to identify the Spirit as simply the Spirit of the Father. At other times they seemed to identify the Spirit as the Logos, the second person. As Justin stated that; The Logos inspired the prophets of the Old Testament but also said the Spirit inspired the prophets. A few passages seem to identify the Spirit as a third person, some sort of created being inferior to

God’s redemption plan in the Old Testament foreshadows His redemption plan in the New Testament. The physical redemption of the Hebrews is that of the spiritual redemption Christians experience through Jesus Christ. Everything in the Old Testament Tabernacle points the Israelites to Jesus Christ, which follows the Order of Melchizedek. These components of revelation inform understanding of God’s progressive revelation of redemption and have an important impact on individual faith. The physical

Person of God the Son “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God,” Peter pronounces in Matthew 16:16. Jesus is the Messiah, the promised deliverer to set God’s people free. Jesus is the Son of the living God. Jesus is one with God. Jesus was fully God and fully man. Through His death on the cross and resurrection from the grave, the way was made open for a redeemed relationship between God the Father and His people. Jesus is the Savior of the world. Millard J.

On the one hand, we see that, because he is one hundred percent God, he has full knowledge that he will ‘on the third day ascend into heaven’ and will be seated at the right of the God the Father Almighty.

He distinguished himself from the activists and brought out the doctrine of prevenient grace into his construction of the doctrine of redemption.

The Bible should undergird every aspect of Christian life. The Bible is where God has chosen to reveal his character, express his desires and to unveil his plan of redemption for humanity. The Bible holds the information that aids to solidify the believer’s faith, relays history, offers wisdom, comforts the hurting and communicates the foundational instructions for living a transformed Christ-like life. Therefore, this thesis will begin its research from a Biblical perspective, to establish a

The Holy Spirit is another Comforter, Teacher, and Reminder. Before Christ went back to Heaven He said that He would not leave us without another Comforter, of which is the Holy Ghost. God the Holy Spirit, God the Father, and God the Son are a Trinity, in Heaven and on this earth. The Comforter indwells us and we are in God and in Jesus. We are in the Trinity. Talk about eternal security, how much more can one be secure than this? Being the Holy Spirit is our Teacher, and the Word of God says

It is being like Jesus in a person’s separation from the world, in purity, in love, and in the fullness of the Spirit for the purpose of God.
