In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture. Each day, you\u2019ll come here to read the description of the name we\u2019re studying today and a brief explanation of how God\u2019s character is seen through His name. (Remember that because the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek, some of God\u2019s names are written in the English form of His name from their original language.) You can then head to today\u2019s passages to see how this name functions in Scripture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
SPIRIT<\/strong>: The non-incarnate, or non-physical, presence of God on earth<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Old Testament contains many references to ruach<\/em>, the \u201cSpirit\u201d of the Lord, which was one of the ways God\u2019s presence manifested on earth. The New Testament uses pneuma<\/em> for the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In John 4, Jesus told the woman at the well that God is spirit. He was referring to the time, which has now come, when the Spirit of the Lord would no longer reside in temples built by human hands. Instead, the Holy Spirit dwells inside those who believe in Jesus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture.
