The Personality of the
Holy Spirit
Ang Personalidad ng Banal na Espiritu

7. The Personality of the Holy Spirit
Key Text
John 14:26 NASB
“ ‘But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.’ ”
Susing Talata. “ ‘Subalit ang Mang-aaliw, ang Espiritu Santo na susuguin ng Ama sa ating pangalan, siya ang magtuturo sa inyo ng lahat ng mga bagay, at magpapaalala sa inyo ng lahat ng aking sinabi sa inyo’ ” (Juan 14:26).

8. The Personality of the Holy Spirit
Initial Words
Because the Holy Spirit is occasionally depicted in the Bible in impersonal terms, such as wind or fire, some have concluded that He is impersonal, a type of divine power.
We will learn more about the personality of the Holy Spirit as He is described in Scripture to help us better understand His role in our lives.
Panimulang Salita. Dahil ang Banal na Espiritu ay paminsan-minsang inilalarawan sa Biblia sa mga di-personal na termino, gaya bilang hangin o apoy, may nagpasya na Siya ay impersonal, isang tipo ng maka-Diyos na kapangyarihan. ¶ Matututunan pa natin ang tungkol sa personalidad ng Banal na Espiritu gaya ng pagkakalarawan sa Kanya sa Kasulatan para matulungan tayong mas mabuting maunawaan ang Kanyang papel sa ating buhay.

The Personality of the Holy Spirit
1. His Personal Aspects
John 14:16, 17 NKJV
“ ‘And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive. Because it neither sees Him nor knows Him;
but you know Him, for He dwells
with you and will be in you.’ ”
1. Mga Personal Niyang Aspeto. “ ‘At hihingin ko sa Ama, at kayo’y bibigyan niya ng isa pang Mang-aaliw, upang makasama ninyo siya magpakailanman. Ito ang Espiritu ng katotohanan na hindi kayang tanggapin ng sanlibutan, sapagkat siya’y hindi nito nakikita o nakikilala man. ¶ Siya’y nakikilala ninyo, sapagkat siya’y nananatiling kasama ninyo at siya ay mapapasa inyo’ ” (Juan 14:16, 17).

11. These sound more like the actions
1. His Personal Aspects
Jesus’ Description
According to Jesus, the Holy Spirit guides, speaks, hears, discloses, and glorifies (John 16:13, 14). He also teaches and reminds us (John 14:26). He dwells
in us (John 14:17), He testifies (John 15:24, 26), and He convicts (John 16:8).
These sound more like the actions
of a sovereign personality than they do an impersonal force.
Ang Paglalarawan ni Jesus. Ayon kay Jesus, ang Banal na Espiritu ay gumagabay, nagsasalita, nakakarinig, naghahayag, at lumuluwalhati (Juan 16:13, 14). Nagtuturo at nagpapaalala rin Siya sa atin (Juan 14:26). Naninirahan Siya sa atin (Juan 14:17), nagpapatutuo Siya (Juan 15:24, 26) at umuusig Siya (Juan 16:8). ¶ Ang mga ito’y parang mas gaya ng kilos ng isang makapangyarihang personalidad kaysa ng isang impersonal na puwersa.

12. Jesus specifically says that He will
1. His Personal Aspects
Jesus’ Description
Jesus specifically says that He will
send “another helper” or “comforter.” The Greek word for “another” is allos. Allos indicates one who is numerically distinct but who is similar to Himself.
In other words, Jesus promises One like Himself, One who will take His place, One who will continue to do His work in us, and who is His representative.
Buong tiyak na sinasabi ni Jesus na isusugo Niya ang “isa pang katulong” o “tagapag-aliw.” Ang Griyegong salita para sa “isa pa” ay “allos.” Ang “allos” ay nagpapakita sa isa pang mang-aaliw na naiiba sa bilang ngunit isang katulad sa Kanyang sarili. ¶ Sa ibang salita, ipinapangako ni Jesus ang Isa na katulad Niya, Isa na kukuha ng Kanyang lugar, Isa na ipagpapatuloy ang Kanyang gawain sa atin, at Kanyang kinatawan.

13. 1. His Personal Aspects
Jesus’ Description
The Bible here uses the Greek word parakletos (John 14:16) to describe someone who is called upon for support, for assistance—someone called to our aid.
Personal attributes are often ascribed to the Holy Spirit (see John 14:26, 15:26, Acts 15:28, Rom. 8:26, 1 Cor. 12:11, 1 Tim. 4:1).
Dito ang Biblia ay ginagamit ang Griyegong parakletos (Juan 14:16) para ilarawan ang isa na tinawag para sa suporta, pagtulong, isang tinawagan para sa ating tulong. ¶ Ang mga personal na katangian ay madalas na ikinakapit sa Banal na Espiritu (tingnan ang Juan 14:26, 15:26, Gawa 15:28, Roma 8:26, 1 Corinto 12:11, 1 Timoteo 4:1).

14. And only a personal being has the capacity to love.
1. His Personal Aspects
Impersonal Force or Divine Person?
The distinctive characteristics of personality are knowledge (or understanding), feeling, and will.
Only a personal being can be grieved, be deceived and lied to. Only a personal being has the ability to choose as he wills and has his own volition.
And only a personal being has the capacity to love.
impersonal na Puwersa o Makalangit na Persona? Ang mga namumukod na likas ng personalidad ay kaalaman (o pang-unawa), damdamin, at kalooban. ¶ Ang isang personal na katayuan lang ang mapipighati, madadaya’t mapagsisinungalingan. Ang isang personal na katayuan lang ang may kakayahang pumili nang gusto niya at meron siyang sariling kapasiyahan. At ang isang personal na katayuan lang ang may kakayahang umibig.

1. His Personal Aspects
Impersonal Force or Divine Person?
The statement that “ ‘it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us’ ” (Acts 15:28) would be absurd if the Holy Spirit were only a power.
How can believers be baptized “ ‘in
the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit’ ” (Matt. 28:19) if the first two who are mentioned are Persons but the third mentioned is not?
Ang pahayag na “ ‘minabuti ng Espiritu Santo at namin” (Gawa 15:28) ay magiging kakatwa kung ang Banal na Espiritu ay isa lang kapangyarihan. ¶ Paanong babautismuhan ang mga mananampalataya, “ ‘sa pangalan ng Ama at ng Anak at ng Espiritu Santo” (Mateo 28:19), kung ang unang dalawang binanggit ay mga Persona, ngunit ang ikatlong binanggit ay hindi?

16. The Personality of the Holy Spirit
2. The Spirit of Truth
John 15:26, 16:13 NKJV
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth... He will testify of Me.
However, when He the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth;...and He will tell you things
to come.”
2. Ang Espiritu ng Katotohanan. “Subalit kapag dumating na ang Mang-aaliw, na aking susuguin sa inyo mula sa Ama, ang Espiritu ng katotohanan.... Siya ang magpapatotoo sa akin. ¶ Subalit kapag dumating na ang Espiritu ng katotohanan, papatnubayan niya kayo sa buong katotohanan. ... At kanyang ipahahayag sa inyo ang mga bagay na darating” (Juan 15:26, 16:13).

2. The Spirit of Truth
Guides to the Truth in Jesus
In the Gospel of John, the word truth is a key term. Truth carries a rather personal and specific meaning: Jesus is the truth.
While God’s Written Word is truthful, God’s truth is revealed in a supreme way in the Person of Jesus Christ.
A true knowledge of God is given
to us in Jesus, because God has
revealed Himself through Him.
Gumagabay sa Katotohanan kay Jesus. Sa Ebanghelyo ni Juan, ang salitang katotohanan ay isang susing termino. Ang katotohanan ay nagdadala sa isang halos personal at tiyak na kahulugan: si Jesus ang katotohanan. ¶ Samantalang ang Nasusulat na Salita ng Diyos ay makatotohanan, ang katotohanan ng Diyos ay naihayag sa isang sukdulang paraan sa katauhan ni Jesu-Cristo. Ang isang tunay na kaalaman tungkol sa Diyos ay ibinigay sa atin kay Jesus, dahil ang Diyos ay inihayag ang Sarili sa pamamagitan Niya.

18. He lifts up Jesus and leads
2. The Spirit of Truth
Guides to the Truth in Jesus
In John 16:13, we are told that the Spirit of truth will guide us into all truth. He does this by pointing to Jesus Christ and by helping us to remember what Jesus has said
(John 15:26) and done for us.
He lifts up Jesus and leads
us into a living and faithful relationship with Him.
Sa Juan 16:13 sinasabihan tayo na ang Espiritu ng katotohanan ay gagabayan tayo sa lahat ng katotohanan. Ginagawa Niya ito sa pamamagitan ng pagtuturo kay Jesu-Cristo at sa pagtulong sa atin na matandaan ang sinabi (Juan 15:26) at ginawa ni Jesus para sa atin. ¶ Itinataas Niya si Jesus at inaakay tayo sa isang buhay at matapat na relasyon sa Kanya.

19. and Redeemer, who is called “the God of all truth” (Deut. 32:4).
2. The Spirit of Truth
Guides to the Truth in Jesus
Truth in the Bible is no theory. Truth encompasses a deeply personal and faithful relationship to our Creator
and Redeemer, who is called “the
God of all truth” (Deut. 32:4).
Thus, the Holy Spirit is aptly called
the “Spirit of truth” (John 14:17) indicating not only His personal character but also His divinity.
Ang katotohanan sa Biblia ay hindi teoretikal. Sinasakop ng katotohanan ang isang buong lalim na personal at matapat na relasyon sa ating Manlalalang at Manunubos, na tinawag na “ang Diyos ng lahat ng katotohanan” (Deuteronomio 32:4). ¶ Kaya ang Banal na Espiritu ay bagay na tawaging ang “Espiritu ng katotohanan” (Juan 14:17), nagpapakita di lang ng Kanyang personal na karakter kundi ang Kanyang pagka-Diyos din naman.

3. His Personality Matters
Romans 8:13, 14 NKJV
“For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For as many as are led by he Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.”
3. Ang Kanyang Personalidad ay Mahalaga. “Sapagkat kung mamuhay kayo ayon sa laman, kayo ay mamamatay, subalit kung sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ay pinapatay ninyo ang mga gawa ng laman, kayo ay mabubuhay. ¶ Sapagkat ang lahat ng pinapatnubayan ng Espiritu ng Diyos ay sila ang mga anak ng Diyos” (Roma 8:13, 14).

21. 3. His Personality Matters
Of Utmost Importance
“If He is a divine person, and we think of Him as an impersonal influence, we are robbing a divine person of the deference, honor, and love that is His due.”—LeRoy Edwin Froom, The Coming of the Comforter 40.
If we think of the Holy Spirit only as a mysterious divine power, our thoughts will be: How can I have more of the Holy Spirit?
Pinakamataas na Kahalagahan. “Kung Siya’y isang maka-Diyos na persona, at iniisip natin Siya na isang impersonal ng impluwensya ay ninanakawan natin ang isang maka-Diyos na persona nang paggalang, karangalan, at pag-ibig na nararapat sa Kanya.”—LeRoy Edwin Froom, The Coming of the Comforter 40. ¶ Kung iniisip natin ang Banal na Espiritu na isang misteryosong makalangit na kapangyarihan lang, ang ating isipan ay magiging: Paano ako magkakaron ng higit pang Banal na Espiritu?

22. But if we think of the Holy Spirit as a
3. His Personality Matters
Of Utmost Importance
But if we think of the Holy Spirit as a
divine Person, we will ask: How can
the Holy Spirit have more of me?
The decisive point is:
Do you want to possess the Holy Spirit,
or do you want the Holy Spirit to
possess you?
Do you resist His influence, or are you willing to follow Him in joyful obedience?
Pero kung iisipin natin ang Banal na Espiritu na isang Maka-Diyos na Persona, itatanong natin: Paano magkakaron ang Banal na Espiritu ng higit pa ng sa akin? Ang nagtatapos na punto ay: Gusto mo bang magmay-ari sa Banal na Espiritu, o gusto mo bang ang Banal na Espiritu ang magmay-ari sa ‘yo? ¶ Nilalabanan mo ba ang Kanyang impluwensya, o nahahanda ka bang sundin Siya sa masayang pagsunod?

23. 3. His Personality Matters
Of Utmost Importance
Do you want to use the Holy Spirit according to your plans, or do you rely on Him so that He can enable you to become more like Jesus Christ and do what He has in mind for you?
Do you take seriously the fact that “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 6:19, NASB), and are you willing to glorify God with how you live?
Gusto mo bang gamitin ang Banal na Espiritu ayon sa mga panukala mo, o ikaw ba’y umaasa sa Kanya upang mabibigayan ka Niya ng kakayahang maging mas lalo pang gaya ni Jesu-Cristo at gawin ang nasa isip Niya para sa ‘yo? ¶ Mataimtim mo bang tinatanggap ang katotohanan na “ang inyong katawan ay templo ng Espiritu Santo na nasa inyo, na tinanggap ninyo mula sa Diyos” (1 Corinto 6:19) at handa kang luwalhatiin ang Diyos nang kung paano ka mamuhay?

Final Words
“We need to realize that the Holy Spirit, who is as much a person as God is a person, is walking through these grounds.”—Evangelism 616.
What can you better relate to,
an impersonal force or

Huling Pananalita. “Kelangang matanto natin na ang Banal na Espiritu, na kasintulad na persona gaya ng Diyos ay isang persona, ay lumalakad sa lupang ito.”—Evangelism 616. ¶ Ano ang mas mabuting makakaugnayan mo, isang impersonal na puwersa o isang personalidad?
