Trinitarian Ministry of the Holy Spirit from Romans 8

Our dear Holy Spirit ministers in our lives by vibrantly pointing us to all that God is. Romans 8.15-17 speaks of how the Holy Spirit is the one that enables us with the ability to cry "abba, Father". Without the Holy Spirit's work we would not fully understand the openness of the Father to allow us to crawl into His loving arms and receive His blessings.

It is also the Holy Spirit who "testifies with our Spirit" regarding our being the children, heirs and co-heirs with Jesus Christ! Without the Holy Spirit's work we would not fully be able to comprehend our identity in Jesus' glory.

However, because of the Holy Spirit's ministry to us, we can experience the fullness of the God Head, the blessed Trinity.
