Yes, and God’s spirit is FROM GOD, from THE FATHER, He who is God… God says, concerning His Spirit:
- ‘I will pour out MY SPIRIT on him (The messiah) and he will do my bidding.” (Isaiah 42:1) (paraphrased)
- “And afterward, I will pour out MY SPIRIT on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” (Joel 2:28)
So the Spirit of holiness is from the Father, He promised to pour out on all believers in time to come. And when that time came to fruition Jesus said:
- ‘Stay in Jerusalem until I send you THE PROMISE FROM THE FATHER…’
Many people WRONGLY claim that the Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Father, is also the Spirit of Christ Jesus. But we see here that Jesus Christ says that he is sending WHAT THE FATHER PROMISED His believers. The Spirit is NOT FROM CHRIST JESUS… it is only SENT ON
FROM the Father. A post deliver person is not the
OWNER of the post, he only passes on what the
OWNER has sent to the receiver.
The claim that “
the spirit of Christ is the spirit of the Father” is a meaning only that Jesus Christ’s OWN spirit behaves, acts, is in accord with that of the Spirit of his Father. If a son does as his Father does, says what the Father says, believes what the Father believes, then that son’s
spirit is the same as his Father’s. It’s not that the son’s
Spirit IS the same Spirit as the Father’s.
Many confusions in scriptures stems from the use and misuse from similar words in English and nuances and inflexions of such words:
- Spirit and spirit
- God and god
- Soul and soul
- Son and son
- Father and father
- Word and word
- Before and before
- Heaven and heaven
- Saviour and saviour
