Scripture Text: (John 14:26)

The Holy Spirit is the third person of Trinity who has being characteristics. He has intelligence (1 Cor 2:10-13), feelings (Eph 4:30), can pray(Romans 8:26), can do miracles(Acts 8:39), teaches and directs(John 14:26; Acts 8:29; Romans 8:14), etc.
Holy Spirit moves and performs His role with a symbol: Dove(Math 3:16): Fire(Acts 2:1-4): Wind(John 3: and Water(Gen 1:2; John 7:37-39)
The Holy Spirit can also be equated to God (Acts 5:3-4).

The Holy Spirit is indispensable for anyone to be saved and His active rolein the Salvation of Man can be categorised into three as described in the Bible:

1. Pre-Salvation Role: Before accepting Jesus and placing our faith in Him, the Holy Spirit plays the active role of conviction of sin and Truth(John 16:8-10). He helps in preparing our heart to receive Christ, for our gospel did not come from merely in words but in power and in the Holy Spirit (1 Thess 1:5;Acts 8:29).

2. Salvation Role: When we have been regenerated or have a new birth in Christ, the Holy Spirit plays the role of binding us to the body of Christ through the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The baptism of the Holy Spirit happens once at conversion, and forms our union with Christ and other fellow believers. Also, the gift of the Holy Spirit we receive is conditioned upon repentance (1Cor 12:4-7; Romans 12; Eph 4). There is also an indwelling of the Spirit in us that helps complete the salvation work in us(Eph 1:13-14).

3. Post-Salvation Role: Here, the Holy Spirit fills, empowers and guides believers, and includes us in part of His ministry. While baptism of the Holy Spirit happens once at repentance, the filling of the Holy Spirit can happen multiple times after we've been saved (Eph 5:18). The Holy Spirit also empowers us to live in obedience to God (Gal 5:16, 22-23). Lastly, the Spirit guides the believers in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:14)

Conclusion
We all must appreciate the Holy Spirit as a gift from God who guides and empowers us to become children of God, and through Christ Jesus leads us to inherit our Father's Kingdom in heaven. We should never take Him for granted( Hebrew 10:29). Have an open mind today and let the Spirit of God guide you through the steps of repentance, for tomorrow may be too late.

Prayer Point:
Spirit of the Living God, overshadow me now, in the name of Jesus.

God bless you.
Peace!
