Scriptures Weekly 21 - Holy Spirit 1 & 2

Who and what is God? The bible tells us he is Spirit with personality natures of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The one personality of God that is greatly misunderstood and often incorrectly taught is the Holy Spirit. Who and what He is and how He intercedes in the disciple’s life, that is, one who has obeyed the gospel. Note that we said disciple, for the Holy Spirit of God does not indwell (reside in) the alien sinner outside of Jesus Christ. For the next few weeks we will be sharing what the bible teaches how the Holy Spirit intercedes in the disciple’s life.

1) He shows us our need for forgiveness and faith in Christ.

John 15:26,

“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness about Me."

2) He gives us assurance that we are truly saved.

John 14:20,

"In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you."

Acts 2:38,

“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Romans 8:16-17,

"The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him."

Blessings
