Third Person In The Trinity

This is probably the best diagram I have seen, to show the three separate persons of the TRINITY, that are ONE God. This is such an important concept to understand and embrace, that I can’t stress enough how important this presentation is to our Christian walk. Three powerful testimonies are given of people whose lives were changed dramatically, once they understood how important it was for them to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit, so they could allow Him to direct their every step. Your Spirit is the lamp, the Holy Spirit is the oil without which there is no light. The reality is, we can’t be godly/holy without the Holy Spirit indwelling us. He restores us to full humanity as God intended from the beginning.

A powerful scripture. If the Fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, gentleness, goodness, kindness and self control is not evident in a Christian’s life then this scripture tells us that we need to question their conversion experience.

The testimony of Dr Walter Wilson is powerful. Converted in 1896, Walter had a deep love for the scriptures yet it bothered him that his life did not seem to bear spiritual fruit. In 1913 he was challenged by a missionary with the question, “What is the Holy Spirit to you?” Wilson answered he is one of the persons of the Godhead, a Teacher, a Guide; the third person of the trinity. He is just as great just as precious, just as needed as the other two persons of the Trinity. But you still have not answered my question, What is He to you? “He is nothing to me”, Wilson said, surprised at his own candour. “I have no contact with Him, no personal relationship, and get along quite well without Him.” His visitor replied, “It is because of this that your life is so fruitless even though your efforts are so great. The missionary’s words taunted Wilson in to the next year. He wanted to bear the fruit of the Spirit but feared becoming a fanatic, giving an inferior place the Jesus Christ. On January 14th, 1914 everything changed when Wilson heard a sermon preached by Dr James Gray (became President of Moody Bible Institute) on Romans 12:1 see next slide.
