The Holy Spirit
God the eternal Spirit was active with the Father and the Son in Creation, incarnation,
and redemption. He inspired the writers of Scripture. He filled Christ’s life with power. He draws
and convicts human beings; and those who respond He renews and transforms into the
image of God. Sent by the Father and the Son to be always with His children, He extends
spiritual gifts to the church, empowers it to bear witness to Christ, and in harmony with the
Scriptures leads it into all truth. (Gen. 1:1, 2; Luke 1:35; 4:18; Acts 10:38; 2 Peter 1:21; 2
Cor. 3:18; Eph. 4:11, 12; Acts 1:8; John 14:16-18, 26; 15:26, 27; 16:7-13.)
Creation
God is Creator of all things, and has revealed in Scripture the authentic account of His creative
activity. In six days the Lord made “the heaven and the earth” and all living things upon the
earth, and rested on the seventh day of that first week. Thus He established the Sabbath as a
perpetual memorial of His completed creative work. The first man and woman were made in the
image of God as the crowning work of Creation, given dominion over the world, and charged
with responsibility to care for it. When the world was finished it was “very good,” declaring
the glory of God. (Gen. 1; 2; Ex. 20:8-11; Ps. 19:1-6; 33:6, 9; 104; Heb. 11:3.)
The Nature of Man
Man and woman were made in the image of God with individuality, the power and freedom to
think and to do. Though created free beings, each is an indivisible unity of body, mind, and
spirit, dependent upon God for life and breath and all else. When our first parents disobeyed
God, they denied their dependence upon Him and fell from their high position under God.
The image of God in them was marred and they became subject to death. Their descendants
share this fallen nature and its consequences. They are born with weaknesses and tendencies
to evil. But God in Christ reconciled the world to Himself and by His Spirit restores in penitent
mortals the image of their Maker. Created for the glory of God, they are called to love Him
and one another, and to care for their environment. (Gen. 1:26-28; 2:7; Ps. 8:4-8; Acts
17:24-28; Gen. 3; Ps. 51:5; Rom. 5:12-17; 2 Cor. 5:19, 20; Ps. 51:10; 1 John 4:7, 8, 11, 20;
Gen. 2:15.)
The Great Controversy
All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between Christ and Satan regarding the
character of God, His law, and His sovereignty over the universe. This conflict originated in
heaven when a created being, endowed with freedom of choice, in self-exaltation became
Satan, God’s adversary, and led into rebellion a portion of the angels. He introduced the spirit of
rebellion into this world when he led Adam and Eve into sin. This human sin resulted in the
distortion of the image of God in humanity, the disordering of the created world, and its eventual
devastation at the time of the worldwide flood. Observed by the whole creation, this world
became the arena of the universal conflict, out of which the God of love will ultimately be
vindicated. To assist His people in this controversy, Christ sends the Holy Spirit and the loyal
angels to guide, protect, and sustain them in the way of salvation. (Rev. 12:4-9; Isa. 14:1214; Eze. 28:12-18; Gen. 3; Rom. 1:19-32; 5:12-21; 8:19-22; Gen. 6-8; 2 Peter 3:6; 1 Cor.
4:9; Heb. 1:14.)
