INTRODUCTION
We learn much more about someone simply by studying the names of the person.The titles of the Holy Spirit inform or remind us of the roles of the Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life. Most of them indicate an aspect of His function in, or ministry through, the Christian’s life. The Spirit’s names and titles are useful in helping us understand His many manifestations—all that He does for us, and His magnificent role in the Trinity.
