Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a term used in various religions, particularly in Christianity, to describe a divine entity or aspect of God's nature. In Christian belief, the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Holy Trinity, which includes God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is often associated with God's action in the world, empowering believers, guiding them in truth, and working in the process of sanctification. The Holy Spirit is also often associated with gifts of the Spirit such as wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.
