Session 7
The Holy Spirit Is God!
From Spirit: Helper, Guide, God
Have you ever wondered what God looks like? The Bible says that God exists as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All three are fully God, but they each have their own role. They are one, but they are all distinct from each other. This might seem confusing, and that’s okay. When you fully understand something, you can take control over it. When you fully understand what you’re learning in your math class, you ace the exam and control your grade. It’s okay not to fully understand this facet of God because we are not in control. It doesn't mean this part of Him is not true, it just means that He is higher than our understanding and that He alone is in control (Isaiah 55:9).
You’ve probably heard a lot about God the Father and God the Son, Jesus Christ. But the Holy Spirit is God too. Paul writes: “No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:11). Just like we know ourselves better than anyone else, the Holy Spirit knows God more than anyone else, because He is God.
