1. Acts 5:3 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What does this verse teach us about God the Holy Spirit?

Acts 5:3 (ESV)

3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?

Of interest is the fact that Peter says Ananias has lied to God the Holy Spirit. This confirms to us that the Holy Spirit is a person and that he is present among God’s people. He is the Spirit of truth (John 14:17), he loves truth and always knows when someone is lying.
