If believers do not seek the Holy Spirit for His sake alone then He will seek to comfort, correct, and guide them.

When did the Holy Spirit first come to Earth? The Holy Spirit has been on Earth for a long time (Genesis 1:1,2).  He was involved in the creation of the universe; therefore, it would be safe to say that He has always been on Earth (Isaiah 40:12-15).

We have established from the Bible that the Holy Spirit is a person,  He is God, and He is separate and distinct from God the Father and God the Son.  However, is He equal to God the Father and God the Son (Jesus)?

We have seen from the Holy Bible that the Holy Spirit is definitely a person and not simply an influence or power.  However, it is not enough to just believe the doctrine – we must know the Holy Spirit Himself.  Furthermore, what sort of person is the Holy Spirit?  Is He a finite or an infinite person?  Is He God?  The answers to these questions are found in the Holy Bible.

Question: The Holy Spirit is __________. a. an influence emanating from God b. a wonderful power c. an illumination that God imparts to us d. a divine person
