A querist asks, “Is there really a Holy Spirit?” Yes, the Holy Spirit is a person with the ability to do things only a person can do. According to the holy Scriptures:

1) The Holy Spirit teaches (John 14:26).
2) The Holy Spirit reproves or convicts (John 16:8).
3) The Holy Spirit is a guide (John 16:13).
4) The Holy Spirit hears and speaks (John 16:13).
5) The Holy Spirit is one who is affected as a person. He may be grieved (Ephesians 4:30); vexed (Isaiah 63:10); lied to (Acts 5:3); resisted or rejected (1 Thessalonians 5:19).
6) The Holy Spirit, as a person, appointed and directed God’s chosen men (Acts 13:2).
7) The Holy Spirit makes intercessions for the saints of God (Romans 8:26).
8) The Holy Spirit strengthens (Ephesians 3:16).
9) The Holy Spirit sanctifies (2 Thessalonians 2:13).
10) The Holy Spirit saves (Titus 3:5).
11) The Holy Spirit justifies (1 Timothy 3:16)
12) The Holy Spirit witnesses to us (Hebrews 10:15).
13) The Holy Spirit prompts us to love God (Romans 5:5).
14) The Holy Spirit will eventually raise us from the dead (Romans 8:11).
