The Holy Ghost Witness Hebrews 10:15

“By one offering” Jesus “has perfected for ever them that are sanctified” according to the writer of Hebrews, and in chapter ten and verse fifteen of Hebrews the writer shared how“the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us” where we read:

Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

The verse begins, “Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us:”. The writer began with the word, “Whereof” which means “but, moreover and now” “the Holy Ghost” which refers to “the most sacred, blameless, and religiously, ceremonially consecrated third person of the triune God who is coequal and coeternal with the Father and the Son” “also is a witness” or “even and indeed is one who affirms that he has seen, heard or experienced something or who knows it by divine revelation or inspiration” “to us” which refers to the writer and his readers. “The Holy Ghost” of God “affirms” what is about to be declared to us.

The verse continues, “for after that he had said before.” The writer added the words, “for after” or “even as, indeed, no doubt, seeing then, verily and therefore behind and following” “that he had said before” or “already spoke, shared, foretold and prophesied”. The writer has more to say about what the “The Holy Ghost” will bear “witness”, and he acknowledged these things had already been “said” previously.

When we think through these words in Hebrews, we see how the third person of the trinity, the “Holy Ghost”, also “bore witness” to what God promised in Jesus Christ. Now not only do the Heavenly Father and Jesus the Son of God “testify” concerning the “ultimate sacrifice”, but the “Holy Ghost” does as well. Jesus became the “perfect” offering before God which change the opportunity we have to be in a relationship with the Heavenly Father, and those who believe in Jesus as their personal “Lord and Savior” have the promise they shall obtain “everlasting life” with Him.

Next time the writer shares how God said, “I will put my laws into their hearts and in their mind will I write them”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
