What is the spirit?
John 4:24
24 God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.
Romans 8:16-17
16 For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God. 17 And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, 23 Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law.
Catholic view (generated):
The spirit is the immaterial aspect of a person that is considered to be the seat of emotions, thoughts, and consciousness. In Christianity, the spirit is often associated with the soul, which is believed to be eternal and created by God. The Holy Spirit is also seen as the third person of the Holy Trinity, working in believers to guide, comfort, and empower them.
