Who is the Holy Spirit? The short answer is ‘God’. The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force, as some mistakenly suggest, but the third person of the Trinity. Various scriptures in the Old and New Testament point to the fact that God is a Trinity. Even at the beginning of the Bible in the first chapter of the book of Genesis, we find an allusion to the fact that there is more than one person in the godhead, for God says, “Let us make man in our image” (Genesis 1:26). The Holy Spirit was active in creation, “brooding over the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2) and continually maintains and sustains all things. The Holy Spirit broods over every human life, that all may come to salvation and be transformed into the likeness of God. He is constantly watching over you today and working invisibly in your life for good.
