is relatively easy to understand: “In the beginning God Created the heavens
and the earth: (Gen: 1:1) and “Is not He your Father, Who created you,
Who made you and established you?” (Deu 32:6).
“The Son of God” is also relatively easy to comprehend:
“the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the son of God’ (Mark 1:1) and “for
God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever
believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) But
just what is the “Spirit of God”? Is It a “who” or an “It”?
THE ‘SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
In the Old Testament,, the Hebrew word translated as “Spirit” in the
term “Spirit of God” is pronounced roo-awkh, which surprisingly to many literally
means breath, ore more specifically. exhalation, a breathing out. “Breath
may not seem to make sense as a term for Spirit until one appreciates
the fact that breath represents life, a living, creative force, as plainly described
in these verses in which “breath” is used as an analogy for the
Spirit of God:
“then The Lord God formed man of dust from the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living soul.” (Gen 2:7)
“for from Me proceeds the Spirit, and I have made the breath
of life.” (Is. 57:16)
