Thank God for his Holy Spirit.
Jesus sent the Spirit to do in the lives of his people what Jesus would do if he were here physically.
The Holy Spirit is God, coequal with the Father and Son Matt. 28:19; Acts 5:3, 4
The Holy Spirit:
- Convicts us of sin and draws us to Jesus Jn. 16:7-9
- Gives us spiritual life Jn. 3:3-6
- Indwells us when we believe Jn. 14:17
- Places us in the Body of Christ 1 Cor. 12:13
- Seals us Eph. 1:13, 14
- Assures us of our salvation Rom. 8:16
- Guides us into all truth Jn. 16:13
- Speaks to us Acts 8:29; 13:2
- Helps us in prayer Rom. 8:26
- Empowers us Acts 1:8
- Strengthens us Eph. 3:16
- Fills us (to live under his influence) Eph. 5:18-21
The Holy Spirit can be grieved (Eph. 4:29-31) and quenched (1 Thess 5:19).
