The Holy Spirit as Breath of God
The Holy Spirit is likened to the breath of God, as the word 'spirit' itself means breath. This biblical image emphasizes that just as breath accompanies speech, the Holy Spirit accompanies the Word of God. The Spirit's role is to articulate and communicate the revelation of God. Understanding the Spirit as breath also highlights the perfect self-revelation of God, as breath and word work together to bring about effective communication. This metaphor reveals the intimate connection and cooperation between the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
