Knowing God the Spirit as Present Restorer: Faith in Theology, Lesson 5
By John Frame and Steve Childers
To know God means to know who God is and what God does as Triune Lord – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
First, we learned the biblical teaching on the person and work of the Father as Creator
Next, we learned the biblical teaching about the person and work of the Son as Redeemer
Now we begin the biblical teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit as Restorer
The Holy Spirit, the eternal third person of the Trinity, has a fully divine nature as equal to the Father and the Son. He is not a mere force but a person who can be grieved, who has a will, and has fellowship with believers. His work is giving and restoring life by imparting God’s transforming presence.
In this lesson, you'll be equipped to:
Explain the biblical teaching on the Lordship of the Holy Spirit
Illustrate the nature and work of the Holy Spirit in the present age
Recognize the role of the Holy Spirit in applying Christ salvation
Discover how the Holy Spirit creates the “communion of saints”
