SPIRIT

SPIRIT (Gr. pneuma) Literally, “breath”; that which is living but immaterial. Spirit is used in three ways in Scripture. (1) The Holy Spirit is one of the three Persons of the Trinity ^{(John 4:24; 20:22).} (2) The angels are called spirits ^{(Ps. 104:4).} (3) The human spirit possesses the intuitive ability to know and experience God ^{(Rom. 8:16; 1 Cor. 2:10 12).}
