The Holy Spirit: The Eternal Spirit
How much more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself
cleanse your conscience from dead works
The Holy Spirit is the Eternal Spirit. He has always existed. He is the third Person of the Trinity, who was active in creation (Genesis 1:2) and who worked throughout the Old Testament. Some people have mistakenly thought that He didn’t come until Jesus promised to send Him into the world (John 15:26). But He is the Eternal Spirit. Now during the Church Age, the Holy Spirit has a special relationship to believers. He will indwell you, guide you, teach you, protect you and, when you are weak, fill you with divine power. Do you want the Holy Spirit in your life?
Come, Eternal Spirit, and fill my life with Your presence. I need to be holy; set me apart from sin. I need strength to obey Scriptures; fill me with Your power.
The Holy Spirit is the Eternal Spirit. He has always been the Spirit of holiness, so He can make you holy. He has eternally been the Spirit, so He can make you spiritual. The Father and Son have sent the Holy Spirit to help you do what you’re supposed to do. When the Eternal Spirit fills your life, you’ll sense God’s purpose, and you’ll realize that your life is bigger than your everyday world. The Eternal Spirit will make you realize that you’re part of God’s eternal plan.
Holy Spirit, I want more than what I have in this world. Come, Eternal Spirit. I want a touch of eternity in my life. Amen.
