He is sometimes forgotten in the discussion of the God the Father and God the Son, and yet plays a role within the Trinity and salvation that is fundamental to the Christian life. The Holy Spirit is a person who can be grieved ([[Ephesians 4:30]]) and teach ([[John 14:26]]) among many other things.

The doctrine [[Bible]] explains the importance and centrality of the Holy Spirit and in the divine plan. Without his presence in this world, there would not be creation, the Trinity is one of universe, nor even the core teachings of orthodox humanity ([[Genesis 1:2]], [[Job 26:13]], [[Job 33:4]], [[ChristianityPsalm 104:30]]). Without the Holy Spirit, setting Christianity apart from other neither the [[monotheism|monotheisticNew Testament]] religions such as nor the Bible would not come into existence ([[Islam2 Peter 1:21]], [[John 14:26]], as well various off-shoots of Christianity such as [[Jehovah's Witnesses1 Corinthians 2:10]] and ). And without him Christians have no power to proclaim the gospel ([[ChristadelphianismActs 1:8]]). Without the Holy Spirit, humans would not have faith, new birth or holiness.
