God the Father are God.

power, is everywhere at the same time,
and has no beginning and no end.
■ The Holy Spirit has the power and
knowledge to help us at any place and any
time we need His help.

6. ■
■ We can go to Him for strength, wisdom,
and guidance.

Spirit teaches us and reminds us what God
has said to us.

Apostles to preach in His name and to

But they were afraid!

earth”
