8 scriptures depicting the deity of the Holy Spirit.

1. He is specifically called God (Acts 5:4; 2 Corinthians 3:16, 17)

2 cor3:17 Now the Lord is the Holy Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is also there.

Acts5:3&4 Then Peter said, "Ananias, why did you let Satan fill your heart? He made you lie to the Holy Spirit. You have kept some of the money you received for the land. Didn't the land belong to you before it was sold? After it was sold, you could have used the money as you wished. What made you think of doing such a thing? You haven't lied to just anyone. You've lied to God."

2. He is eternal. (Hebrew 9:14)

But Christ offered himself to God without any flaw. He did this through the power of the eternal Holy Spirit.

3. He is omnipresent. (Psalms 139:7)

How can I get away from your Spirit? Where can I go to escape from you?

4. He is the Spirit of Life. (Romans 8:2)

I am now controlled by the law of the Holy Spirit. That law gives me life because of what Christ Jesus has done. It has set me free from the law of sin that brings death.

5. He is the Spirit of Truth. (John 16:13)

But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own. He will speak only what he hears. And he will tell you what is still going to happen.

6. The Spirit participated in creation. (Genesis 1:2)

The earth didn't have any shape. And it was empty. Darkness was over the surface of the ocean. At that time, the ocean covered the earth. The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

7. He participates in regeneration. (John 3:8)

"The wind blows where it wants to. You hear the sound it makes. But you can't tell where it comes from or where it is going. It is the same with everyone who is born through the Spirit."

8. Jesus was raised from the dead by the Spirit. (Romans 8:11)

The Spirit of the One who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you. So the God who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your bodies, which are going to die. He will do this by the power of his Spirit, who lives in you.

Let us reverence and enjoy Him just as we do to God the Father and Jesus our Lord!
