His anointing, in His ministry, death, resurrection, ascension, and glorification. The Holy Spirit presided over every phase in the earthly ministry of Christ. He sustained Him in a very precious and gracious manner, and in a very peculiar sense He is called "The Spirit of Christ." He came to take the place of Christ. He imparts the virtues and qualities of Christ to the believer. He has been sent by Christ, in the name (or nature) of Christ, to supplement His works which He started in Christ, and will consummate them in the Christians. "The Spirit of His Son" "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6). The third Person of the Godhead was the operating Agent in producing the incarnation of the Son of God. He was born of the flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit. He must be born in us in the new birth in order to make us sons of God. He Who gave Christ a physical birth must give us a spiritual birth in order to make us sons of God. "The Holy Spirit" "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13). The term "Holy Spirit" refers only to the third Person of the Trinity and is never applied to the Father or to the Son. This name reveals His moral character. There is the same character in Him as there is in the Father and in the Son. God is designated as Holy Father, and Christ in the Old Testament as the Holy One of Israel, and in the New Testament, as the Holy One of God. The Holy Spirit wills to be holy. He is holy, absolutely holy. He imparts holiness to others and makes holy all He indwells. We should pray to be like Him in nature. "The Eternal Spirit" "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" (Heb. 9:14). This teaches His eternal existence. One of His attributes is eternity. In Him there is equality with the Father and the Son. He proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son, and had no beginning. "The Spirit of Burning" "When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning" (Isa. 4:4).
"Judgment" here refers to conviction of sins, and "burning" to consuming, removing, and destroying of sins. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to produce conviction and to apply the work of redemption in producing the new birth, at which time sins are consumed and removed. "The Spirit of Holiness" "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead" (Rom. 1:4). Here the holiness of the Spirit is emphasized. He dwelt in the holy One of God when He was on earth, and He approves all that is holy. He approved the holiness of Christ by raising Him from the dead. "The Spirit of Promise" "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" (John 14:16). "And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me" (Acts 1:4). "Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father, the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear" (Acts 2:33). "In whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise" (Eph. 1:13). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of promise. He has been promised by the Father, and by the Son, and He, as the Spirit of promise came as was promised. He is the Spirit of promise in a twofold manner. First, He was given in fulfillment of the promise of the Father and the Son. And secondly, unto those who receive Him He as the Spirit of promise becomes the earnest of a promise which is yet unfulfilled. He could not be given as the Spirit of promise until after Christ was glorified, for He must be given by Christ as well as by the Father. During the incarnation and humiliation of Christ, the Second Person of the Trinity subordinated Himself to the Spirit; therefore, during this period He could not give the Spirit. After the exaltation of Christ, when He entered into His glory and exalted position, the Spirit again became subordinate to Christ Who sent Him to become incarnated in the church. "The Spirit of Truth" "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me" (John 15:26). "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13).
