V. Divine Lordship Ascribed to the Holy Spirit
There are several references in the Old Testament which refer to the Lord and to Jehovah, which
are applied to the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. Two examples of these are: Isa. 6:8-10 speaks
of the operations of the Lord, but in Acts 28:25-27, it is positively stated that this was the Holy
Spirit. In Ex. 16:7, we read of the word and the works of the Lord, then in Hebrews 3:7-10, it is
positively stated that it was the Holy Ghost Who said those words of warning and admonition to the
people. This also is an evidence that He is the Lord; therefore, He is Deity.
VI. Divine Authorship of the Scriptures Ascribed to the Holy Spirit
One of the great ministries of the Holy Spirit was that of inspiring holy men to write the
Scriptures. He employed around forty men to write the Scriptures. The Scriptures were in process
of writing a period of some sixteen hundred years. The Holy Spirit came upon holy men and moved
them, that is, carried them along in their writing, giving them the thoughts, and the words to write.
Some of the prophets did not understand their own writings and desired to look into those things of
which they wrote. The inspiration conferred upon men to write the Scriptures evidently was the
highest degree of inspiration conferred upon men, and it ceased with the completion of the canon of
the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit inspires men today, but they do not possess that high degree of
inspiration. The Scriptures, as they were written, possessed perfection and infallibility. No men today
should place their sayings and writings on a par with the Scriptures. In the operation of the Holy
Spirit giving inspiration, revelations, thoughts, and words to men, we again learn that He is God and
Deity.
VII. Divine Life Imparted by the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is symbolized by wind and is spoken of as the breath of God. When we read that
God breathed into Adam "the breath of life" and man became a living soul, that was the operation
of the Spirit. In the incarnation of Christ, we learn that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, which
was a mystery, and also a miracle. It is the Holy Spirit Who produces the new birth and imparts
divine life to the believer in his regeneration. Life is a mystery. It is the greatest mystery of scientists
and the laboratory. The scientists say that, of necessity, life never had a beginning and could not have
had any beginning, it must be eternal. That is exactly what is taught in the Scriptures and what we
believe God in three Persons is, Who never had a beginning, Who is the Author and the great
Sustainer of life. Not only is He self-existent, but it is He Who imparted life to man and the animals.
It is the work of the Holy Spirit to impart life. This is a divine work and can only be accomplished
by One Who is divine , eternal, and self-existing, Who is Deity.
