Who Is the Holy Spirit?

Teaching points

  • The Holy Spirit is personal, not an impersonal force to control. Scripture connects His work with witness to Christ and the formation of a life that reflects God’s character.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • John 14:26
  • Galatians 5:22–25

Reflect

  • Where do you need to depend on the Spirit rather than appearance or performance?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Choose one fruit of the Spirit and identify a concrete opportunity to practice it.
