RCCG Sunday School Teens Teachers Manual 25 September 2022 INTRODUCTION

The Holy Spirit is God. Our God is one divine being, yet He is also three unique individuals. There is God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person in what has been understood as “the Trinity,” a triune God. The Holy Spirit is a personal being. He is not an “it” but is mostly referred to as “He”. He has a mind, emotions, and a will. He also possesses the same traits as God, which is seen throughout the Scripture.

RCCG Sunday School Teens Teachers Manual 25 September 2022 LIFE APPLICATIÖN

The Holy Spirit resides in every believer. Jesus died and rose again for the forgiveness of our sins, and He is the only way to eternal life to get to Heaven (John 3:16, John 14:6). Those who do not accept the free gift of salvation are not indwelt by the Holy Spirit. If you are curious about accepting God’s gift and inviting Him into your life and heart, you need to surrender your life to Christ.

CONCLUSION: The closer you get to God, the more you will experience His Holy Spirit. How amazing that we have God in us, wherever we are, and will always have a Divine Friend to help us in time of need. The Holy Spirit is a precious gift to every believer and should be treated as we treat God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son, as He is equal with them, but unique in the role He plays in our lives.
