Growing in Grace / Lesson 13

Who Is the Holy Spirit? (Most Misunderstood Person of the Trinity)

The Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood Person of the Trinity — sometimes over-mystified as a force to be manipulated, sometimes diminished to an impersonal influence. Scripture is clear: He is a Person with mind, emotions, and will, and He is fully God, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Son.
