Holy Spirit
Contemporary ‘spiritual but not religious’ and wellness-culture language (‘good vibes,’ ‘positive energy,’ ‘the universe’s energy’) offers vague, impersonal substitutes for what Romans 8 presents as a specific, personal divine Person who intercedes, indwells, and gives life; this personal, Trinitarian sense must be actively taught, not assumed retained by loose cultural familiarity with ‘spirit’ language.
