Spirit of Christ (Isaiah 11:1-9)

Spirit of Christ (Isaiah 11:1-9)

In Ezekiel 37, we learnt that the Spirit of God is the Spirit of life. He is the one who brings life to the dead, who makes things out of nothing. He creates ex nihilo. He creates and recreates in new creation. Genesis 1:2 talk about God and the Spirit of God hovering over the face of the earth. The Spirit of God is active and present in creation. The Holy Spirit is the one who creates and makes all things, together with the Father and the Son. 

This is the Doctrine of Inseparable Operations, where we see that the Godhead acts as one. The roles that they play are distinct and different. We know the third person of the Trinity by knowing the second person of the Trinity and how He relates to the third person. 

What do you know about the Holy Spirit? Do we know the Spirit? 

Spirit of Life (Ezekiel 37:1-28)

Spirit of Life (Ezekiel 37:1-28)

Where in the Bible do you see the Spirit at work?

But where in the Old Testament do we see the Spirit?

The Father, Son and Spirit are known throughout Scripture. God’s word informs us of each person of the Godhead. The verb form of the word Spirit is “spirare” which means to breathe and come forth form. 

But, who is this person of the Spirit that we meant to experience? What does it mean that He is the Spirit of life? In this series, we will learn more about the Holy Spirit, and to start us off, we will be looking at what the Old Testament says, in Ezekiel 37.
