Question 1 of 15
1. Question
The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament
The Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) was hovering over
the waters.”1. What was the condition of the earth?
2. What was the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) doing?
Hovering can be defined as “abiding” or “lingering—to hang fluttering in the air or upon the wing.”
The Amplified Bible also uses the term brooding. Brooding gives us the idea of a mother bird sitting on her nest, waiting for her eggs to hatch. The word also means “to remain steadfastly settled over something, to cover, cherish, nourish and foster.”
In these first two verses of the Bible, we see the Holy Spirit actively involved in the creation of our earth. The Bible teaches us some important principles about the Holy Spirit. Let’s look at the most important ones now.

Question 3 of 15
3. Question
The Scripture: Ephesians 4:30
“And do not vex the Spirit of God.”
4. What does the Apostle Paul warn Christians not to do?
The word vex is also translated “grieve,” “offend,” or “sadden” in other versions of the Bible.
Personal pronouns and personal emotions are used in relation to a person, not an object or a thing. This leads us to our second principle.

PRINCIPLE #2: The Holy Spirit is a member of the Trinity or Godhead
The Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:14
“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
5. How many distinct personalities in the Godhead does Paul name?
The Church has long called the idea of three persons in one God, the Trinity. Although you won’t find this word in Scripture, the idea of the Trinity is very much in evidence there. Nowhere does Scripture treat one as more important than the other two.

Question 9 of 15
9. Question
The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament
Before they sinned, God spoke face-to-face with Adam and Eve, the first people. But after they sinned, He no longer met with them, nor did He abide in them as He does in His people today. As time passed, the descendants of Adam and Eve grew more and more wicked. Although for the most part, God was silent, He never stopped loving His creation–He had a plan, a destiny for them. When He communicated with them, He worked through a “hand-picked” few under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. One of these people was a man named Abram.
The Scripture: Genesis 12:1-3
“The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.’”
God wanted to separate a selected group of people (later called the Israelites); from the rest of the peoples on earth so they could fulfill a wonderful plan He had for them.
10. What did the Lord (the Holy Spirit) tell Abram to do?
11. What did the Lord promise Abram?

Question 10 of 15
10. Question
Abram, later renamed Abraham, obeyed God, but unfortunately, the descendants of Abraham were almost as wicked as the rest of the world. God had to let them experience the consequences of their disobedience over and over again. From time to time, however, the Holy Spirit worked mightily and powerfully in the lives of a few Old Testament men and women.
One of these was a man named Moses. The Israelites had been slaves of the Egyptians for many years when a baby boy, Moses, was born into a Hebrew family. Through the Holy Spirit’s guidance, Moses was raised by the daughter of Pharaoh, ruler of Egypt.
When Moses reached adulthood, He became interested in the Hebrew people and while trying to protect one of them accidentally killed an Egyptian. He fled into the wilderness and lived the life of a shepherd for forty years. Then when he was eighty years old, the Lord appeared to him in a burning bush.
The Scripture: Exodus 3: 9-10
“And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

Question 13 of 15
13. Question
Fear kept the Israelites from obeying God’s purpose for them. Nothing changed greatly. In the years that followed, the Israelites continued to go their own way. In time most of them became slaves and lived under the rule of other nations.
But God never gave up on them. Even in Israel’s darkest days, the Holy Spirit began to speak to His people through the prophets, telling them about a time in the future when things would be different.
The Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19-20
“I will give them (His people) an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.”
17. What did God say He would do?
