Spirit in Christianity

In Christianity, the "Spirit" refers to the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who is divine and active in the world. The Holy Spirit guides, comforts, and empowers believers, helping them grow in faith and live according to God's will. It is often understood as a presence that inspires, transforms hearts, and fosters a connection between humans and God. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in spiritual growth, prayer, and understanding scripture, functioning as God's ongoing presence and work within the lives of Christians.
