Who is the Holy Spirit? Is He merely a mysterious force, or is He a living divine person actively working in the world today? And is there a connection between the Holy Spirit and the angel Gabriel, as some believe? These and other questions may come to the minds of many. To understand who the Holy Spirit is, it is important to go back to the oldest information available to us, which is found in the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The term “Holy Spirit” comes into Arabic from an ancient religious concept, referring to the spiritual being considered part of the Holy Trinity in Christianity. The Arabic word “\u0631\u0648\u062d” (R\u016b\u1e25) means breath or spiritual force that gives life and guides a person toward God, while “\u0627\u0644\u0642\u062f\u0633” (al-Quds) means purity or sanctification. Thus, the “Holy Spirit” can be understood as the pure Spirit of God, working in the world and in the lives of believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The origin of the term “Holy Spirit” in the Bible is found in Hebrew and Greek. In Hebrew, the term used is \u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7 \u05e7\u05b9\u05d3\u05b6\u05e9\u05c1<\/strong> (Ruach Kodesh<\/em>), meaning “the Holy Spirit.” In Greek, the term is \u03a0\u03bd\u03b5\u1fe6\u03bc\u03b1 \u1f0d\u03b3\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd<\/strong> (Pneuma Hagion<\/em>), which also means “the Holy Spirit.” In both languages, this term expresses the divine power that embodies God’s presence in the world and in the lives of believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
