THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is commonly referred to as the third Person of the Trinity. Along with the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has existed from before creation. He proceeds from the Father and the Son and is along with them to be worshipped as the one Triune God.

As the Church succinctly confesses in the Heidelberg Catechism:
"What do you believe concerning the Holy Spirit?

First, He is, together with the Father and the Son, true and eternal God.

Second, He is also given to me, to make me by true faith share in Christ and all His benefits, to comfort me and to remain with me forever."

The Holy Spirit works faith in our hearts, sustains us in our walk with God and helps us to become more holy. He also inspired the Bible, guiding the authors to write exactly what God intended (2 Timothy 3:16).
