The Attributes of the Holy Spirit: Part 4 - Truth

4/17/2021

TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · The Attributes Of The Holy Spirit: Part 4 - Truth
The attribute of truth means that it is impossible for God to lie.
  • in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago, - Titus 1:2   
However, it is more than just speaking truth.  That God is truth means that He is perfectly reliable in all that He says and does.
  • God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? - Numbers 23:19   
Thus, the attribute of truth guarantees the God is complete or perfect and lacks nothing.  Jesus, the second Person of the Godhead declared that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth.
  • [The Holy Spirit] is the Spirit of Truth… - John 14:17
    When the Helper comes… that is the Spirit of Truth - John 15:26

As the Spirit of truth, He is completely and perfectly God.  There is nothing lacking or diminished in Who He is.  Biblically, the number seven is associated with completion of perfection.  As the complete and perfect God, the Holy Spirit is known as the Seven Spirits (Revelation 1:4; 3:1). 
  • John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, - Revelation 1:4
    He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. - Revelation 3:1


That the Holy Spirit is known as the Seven Spirits of God is rooted in the prophecy of Isaiah 11:2 — “The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.”  Contextually, Isaiah 11 is a prophecy of the coming Messiah.   Isaiah 11:2 prophecies that the Messiah will be anointed  by the Holy Spirit and minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Isaiah 11:2 provides a seven-fold description of how the Holy Spirit empowers Christ.  Hence, in Revelation 5:6, John describes the seven eyes of the Lamb of God as the seven Spirit of God.  In other words, the Lamb is completely empowered by the perfect Spirit of God.

    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.
