There is also a lack of concrete imagery.
God the Father is understood fairly well because the figure of a father is familiar to everyone.
The Son isn’t hard to conceptualize, because he actually appeared in human form and was observed and reported on.

The Holy Spirit is the point at which the Trinity becomes personal to the believer.
The Father created, the Son came down to earth, died, resurrected and ascended, and the Spirit is with us.

It is through the Holy Spirit’s work that we feel God’s presence within and the Christian life is given a special tangibility.

Conversion - when someone repents (turn away from sin) and faith (acceptance of Christ)
Regeneration - The miraculous transformation of an individual and implantation of spiritual energy
We are initiated into the Christian life through the Spirit’s activity in our conversion and regeneration.
Roles which the Holy Spirit performs continually in our lives:
Empowering
2. Indwelling
3. Teaching
4. Intercession
This is when the Holy Spirit engages in our behalf.

5. Sanctification - Continued transformation of moral and spiritual character so that the life of the believer actually comes to mirror the standing which he or she already has in God’s sight.
(Romans 8:1-17)

6. Gives Spiritual Gifts

The gifts we have are gifts from the Holy Spirit.
They are not our own accomplishments, and are intended to be used in the fulfilment of his plan.
The Holy Spirit empowers believers in their Christian life and service.
We can rely on the Holy Spirit to give us understanding of the Word of God, and to guide us into his will for us.
We can direct prayer to the Holy Spirit, just as to the Father and the Son, as well as to the Triune God.
We can thank him for the work that he does in us, and ask him to continue that work.
Being filled with the Spirit is not so much a matter of our getting more of the Spirit as it is a matter of his possessing more of our lives.
