The Holy Spirit is affirmed as God in scripture, sharing the same divine nature as the Father and the Son.
The Holy Spirit is referred to as a person in Scripture, distinctly identified as God, just as the Father and the Son are. In passages such as John 14:16-17 and John 16:13, the Spirit is involved in the divine work of guiding believers into truth and revealing the things of Christ. The unity of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—indicates that the Holy Spirit is not merely a force but is indeed God Himself, possessing the same essence and authority.
