Do you know the Holy Spirit?

My goal is to know Him...-Philippians 3:10

Two weeks ago we began a series asking "Do you know Him?" When I use the word "know" or "knew" I don't mean he knew God like some of us "know" our Facebook friends or Twitter followers. No, I meant like Paul had an intimate knowledge of the Trinity we too should have an intimate knowledge of the Trinity. My aim is to paint with a broad brush a beautiful picture of each of the members of the Trinity. I hope through these posts you would give your life to knowing the Trinity and making Him known.

We will continue with the Holy Spirit.

Do you know the Holy Spirit?
He is eternal
He is everywhere; there is no place you can go to escape Him
He is all knowing; He knows our thoughts before we think them and our words before we say them
He is all powerful; nothing can stop His will
Do you know the Holy Spirit?
He comforts
He teaches He speaks
He makes decisions
Do you know the Holy Spirit?
He grieves over sin
He overrules human actions
he searches the deep things of God
He knows the thoughts of God
He determines the distribution of spiritual gifts
He interprets and brings human prayers before the throne of God
He assures believers of their adoption
He bears witness to Christ
He glorifies Christ
Do you know the Holy Spirit?
He illuminates the Bible
He empowers Gospel preaching
He regenerates God's elect
He sanctifies the believer
He keeps all of God's elect and helps us persevere to the end
Do you know the Holy Spirit?

My prayer is that you would spend your life knowing the Holy Spirit and making Him known.
