Titus 3:6
6 Which [hos] he shed [ekcheo] on [epi] us [hemas] abundantly [plousios] through [dia] Jesus [Iesous] Christ [Christos] our [hemon] Saviour [soter]; KJV-Interlinear
6 whom He poured out upon us
richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,NASB
The Holy Spirit is
God.He is a person, just as the other
two members of the Godhead are, 2 Cor. 13:14, 1 Pet. 1:2.
As the Father is the
unseen member of the Trinity who authored the plan for the Divine Decrees, so
too, the Holy Spirit is the unseen member of the Trinity through whom divine
power is conveyed.In this sense, the
Holy Spirit is the agent for the revealing of the Plan of God, and the agent
for the power by which the plan is executed.
Jesus Christ, the Son,
is the only revealed member of the Trinity, and it is He who executes the Plan
of God, and therefore the one who controls history.
The Holy Spirit has
many attributes which describe His function and role in life.He is called the Spirit of holiness, Rom.
1:4, life, Rom. 8:2, knowledge, Isa. 11:2, truth, Jn. 14:17.
He restores and gives
life, Gen. 1:2, Job 33:4.
He is the agent for the
restraint of sin, 2 Thes. 2:6-7.
He acts as the
substitute for the missing human spirit in unbelievers so that they can
understand the Gospel, 2 Cor. 2:14.
He is the guide to all
truth, Jn. 16:13-15.
He is the divine author
(writer) of the scriptures, 1 Cor. 2:16, Heb. 3:7.
The Holy Spirit
guarantees accurate communication of truth, 2 Sam. 23:2, 2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet.
1:20-21.
The Holy Spirit teaches
the believer, Jn. 14:26, 15:26.
The Holy Spirit is the
agent for converting knowledge, into understanding or wisdom, Eph. 3:19, 4:13,
2 Pet. 1:8.
The Holy Spirit is the
agent of regeneration, Titus 3:5, baptizes us into union with Christ, 1 Cor.
12:13, 1 Pet. 2:9.He indwells the
believer, Rom. 8:9-11, 1 Cor. 3:16, 6:19-20, 2 Cor. 6:16, Col. 1:27-29.
He is the agent of
sealing or guaranteeing eternal life for the believer, Eph. 1:13, 4:30.
He provides a spiritual
gift for each believer, 1 Cor. 12:4, Eph. 4:11.
We are commanded to be
filled (fellowship) with the Spirit, Eph. 5:18, which is the result of
confession of sin to God the Father.
He is the agent of the
production of divine good (gold, silver, and precious stones), 1 Cor. 3:12-13,
which is rewarded in eternity, 1 Cor. 3:14.
These are just as few
of the attributes of the Holy Spirit, who is unseen and unheard, and unfelt by
humanity.
As for those who boast
of their unique contact with their Holy Spirit, there are special padded rooms,
and jackets, even medication that can help their condition.
The Holy Spirit is in
you, if you have believed in Christ.His
indwelling is automatic, just as all three members of the Trinity s indwelling
in you, is, from the moment you first believed in Christ.Their indwelling is permanent and you will
never, nor can you ever, lose it.
The word for richly,
means abundant.Abundant means a vast quantity
of which you could never use in an infinite number of lifetimes.In other words, it is a lot.
The Holy Spirit is the
mechanism by which the power of God is conveyed and applied to everything.
Therefore, since the
ultimate power of the universe, is resident within you, in abundant quantities,
then that sort of makes you very special.
Jesus Christ is the
agent of salvation, and through the plan of God, all contact with Him (God the
Father), must go through the Son, Jesus Christ.
Had the Cross not
occurred, then this power and relationship with God, would
not have been possible.
This is the ultimate
and distinctive difference (access to God, through Christ) between Christianity
and all other religions, beliefs, cults, philosophies, etc.
The pouring of Gods
blessings are represented by these words.God pours generously and without limit. And if you advance to spiritual maturity, then
you will not only experience phenomenal blessing now in this life, but you will
really experience them in eternity, which is or should be, your ultimate goal
in life.
