TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · The Attributes Of The Holy Spirit: Part 3 - Holiness And Love
Holiness defines someone or something as set apart or separate.  That God is holy means that He is has no peer and is set apart from all others.
  • Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders? - Exodus 15:11
  • There is no one holy like the Lord, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God. - 1 Samuel 2:2
As well, holiness implies absolute moral purity.  Hence, God is free from sin.
  • Your eyes are too pure to approve evil, And You cannot look on wickedness with favor. - Habakkuk 1:13a
The most common designation for the third Person of the Triunity is Holy Spirit.  
  • Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. - Matthew 12:32
He is also known as the Spirit of Holiness.  
  • who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord, - Romans 1:4
That the Spirit is holy implies that like the Father and the Son, He has no peer and is without sin.

The attribute by which the infinite God is moved to communicate with finite humanity is love.  1 John 4:8 declares that “God is love.”  Hence, because the Holy Spirit is coequal with God, He is love.  God’s love is not an emotional feeling or response but rather a reasoned-out love.  It is sacrificial, springing from a deliberate voluntary choice regardless of what it is given in return. The attribute of love is grounded in the Spirit’s holiness.  Because the Holy Spirit is love, He produces love in believers.

    WHY TWO MINUTES?

    The Two-Minute Rule states “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.”   The idea behind the rule is to make a habit easy to start.
    One of the goals for 2-Minute Theology is to help believers develop a theological habit.
    Another goal is to provide believers with a resource they can use to 'test the spirits' to see if they are from God.
