one knows the things of God
except the Spirit of God.

Acts. 16:6-7 ~ 6 Now when they

What is His Nature?
He is called “God”
Act 5:3-4 ~ 3 But Peter said,
"Ananias, why has Satan filled your
heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and
keep back part of the price of the
land for yourself? 4 While it
remained, was it not your own? And
after it was sold, was it not in your
own control? Why have you
conceived this thing in your heart?
You have not lied to men but to
God."
He is the Creator
Job 33:4 ~ The Spirit of God has
made me, And the breath of the
Almighty gives me life.
Ps. 104:30 ~ You send forth Your
Spirit, they (living things, v. 25)
are created; And You renew the
face of the earth.
He inspired the Scriptures
Heb. 3:7-9 ~ 7 Therefore, as the
Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you
will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as
in the rebellion, In the day of
trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tested Me,
tried Me, And saw My works
forty years. (quoting from Ps.
95:7-10)
He gives salvation
Tit. 3:4 ~ not by works of
righteousness which we have
done, but according to His mercy
He saved us, through the washing
of regeneration and renewing of
the Holy Spirit,
He raised Jesus from the dead
Rom. 8:11 ~ But if the Spirit of Him
who raised Jesus from the dead
dwells in you, He who raised
Christ from the dead will also
give life to your mortal bodies
through His Spirit who dwells in
you.
