THE LORD AND GIVER OF LIFE

Abstract

This Paper is offered in a biblical pastoral context, to help foster a sound biblical spirituality for daily life as a Christian. Part 1 offers an INTRODUCTION about the unique power of the word of God. Part 2 focuses on the Divinity of the Holy Spirit. (In 2Cor.3:17, for the very first time in the Bible, the divinity of the Holy Spirit is explicitly stated!) Part 3 focuses on the unique role of Jesus in giving the Holy Spirit. (John 7:37-39 declares that Jesus’ saving Death and Resurrection was required before the ‘Holy Spirit,’ the  Divine Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, could be given to humanity!) Part 4 focuses on the main work of the Holy Spirit in making disciples holy.
