Who is
the Holy Spirit ?
The
most important point I can make (about the Holy Spirit) is this:
there is nothing that God is that the Holy Spirit is not. All of
the essential aspects of deity belong to the Holy Spirit. We can
say of him exactly what was said of Jesus Christ in the ancient
Nicene Creed: He is very God of very God! So we bow before him,
we worship him, we accord him every response Scripture requires
of our relationship to Almighty God.
One of the deadliest weapons ever invented is the landmine, an
explosive mechanism that detonates when it is disturbed. The
landmine is deadly and dangerous because it is difficult to see,
and usually isn't discovered until it's too late. In other
words, landmines are a "hidden danger" designed to maim or
destroy whoever happens across them.
In the realm of the spirit, there are "landmines" or subtle snares
that lie in wait for every believer engaged in kingdom work.
Just as landmines are set on trails, beneath roads, and in
fields during physical warfare, Satan's traps lie in the pathway
of believers. Spiritual landmines can be just as dangerous as
their mechanical counterparts because spiritual landmines have
eternal implications and consequences. These spiritual landmines
or hidden dangers are designed to render the disciple of Jesus
Christ ineffective.
Inconsistency is a "hidden danger."
