How Secure Is This Liberty?
Part 2.2

The Deity of the Holy Spirit

One way we see that the Holy Spirit is God is to see in the bible that the same attributes that are used to describe Almighty God is used to describe the Holy Ghost. There are some things that only God is. And when the bible ascribes these things to the Holy Ghost, then that’s essentially telling us that he’s God.

 

His attributes attest to his diety

I He’s eternal

Hebrews 9:14 “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”

II He’s omnipresent

Psalm 139:7-10 “Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, Thou are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.”

III He’s omniscience

1 Corinthians 2:10-11 “Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.”

IV He’s omnipotent

Luke 1:35 “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
