The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, has all of the divine aspects of God, since He is God. The role of the Holy Spirit is to mainifest the active presence of God in the world and in the church. It is the Holy Spirit that leads the unbeliever to Christ. It is the Holy Spirit that regenerates the new believer more and more into the likeness of Christ each and every day. It is through the Holy Spirit that God accomplishes His shaping of believers in the church today.

The Holy Spirit gives life, power for service, purifies, reveals, gives evidence of God’s presence, guides and directs God’s people, provides a Godlike atmosphere, gives us assurance that we are children of God, teaches and illumines, and unifies. With such a long list, one may wonder what the Holy Spirit does not do. Since the Holy Spirit is God’s current presence in the world, taking the place of Christ when He ascended into heaven, it is through the Holy Spirit that the current believer is able commune with God the Father, in the name of the savior, Jesus Christ.

Whether the Holy Spirt is drawing an new believer to Christ or changing a believer into a person who is more Christlike, the Holy Spirit always points to the second Person of the Trinity, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, in turn, always points to the Father. The Holy Spirit never draws attention to Himself but always points attention toward Jesus. The Holy Spirit, although God’s active force in the world today, should not be over-emphasized or placed above either the Father or the Son.
