According to Luke 11:13, the gift of the Holy Spirit is the gift of the ____.

• A. Son
• B. Spirit
• C. Church
• D. Father

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that the Holy Spirit is given as a blessing to believers through God’s ordained channels. Luke 11:13 shows that the Father is the one who gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask, so the source of the gift is the Father. In the Church of God teaching, the Church functions as the instrument through which believers receive that blessing—the Spirit dwells in the church community and is manifested in its life and teaching. Because the Church is the means by which this spiritual gift is dispensed to the faithful, the gift of the Holy Spirit is understood in this context as the gift of the Church. The other options point to persons or the divine essence itself, but the question framing emphasizes the channel through which the Spirit comes to believers, namely the Church.
