To this point in our study, we have learned several things about the Holy Spirit.
1. Who is the Holy Spirit?
A. Consider His Personality
B. Consider His Deity
C. Consider His Relationship - homoousios (same substance)
2. The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament
A. In creation (Gen.
1:2; Ps. 104:27-30)
B. Endowments of humanity (Job 32:8; Gen. 41:38-39; Ex. 28:3; 31:3-5; 35:30-35)
C. Relation to redemption
3. The Holy Spirit in the New Testament
A. John the Baptist and the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:15-17)
B. Jesus and the Holy Spirit
4. Pentecost and the descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-21, 33)
A. The beginning of the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies, the words of John the Baptist, and Jesus’ own promises.
B. Inauguration of the New Covenant
C. Accompanied by tangible miraculous signs.
5. Differences between the old covenant and new covenant experiences of the Holy Spirit
A. Permanent presence vs. withdraw-able anointing
B. Poured out on all believers vs. select group
C. Jew/Gentile alike vs. Jew only
D. More extensive and intensive, yet still not complete
Which brings us to the final lesson and:
6.
The Holy Spirit’s ministry today
A. He initiates and seals salvation (John 16:8-11; John 3:3-4; Titus 3:5-6; 1 Cor.
6:11; Romans 8:11)
The Holy Spirit initiates salvation and will bring it to completion
He convicts of sin, self-righteousness, faulty judgement
“Divine disturbance” or conviction
Brings regeneration – new birth
Removes old nature – old script –
No longer in darkness, but in the light
Monergistic work (All of His - from start to finish)
He will give us the new resurrected bodies
B. His works related to assurance/perseverance
1.)
The inner witness of the Holy Spirit (Rom.
8:16; 1 John 3:24; 4:13; Gal.
4:6)
Subjective assurance – belonging forever
2.)The Sealing of the Holy Spirit (Eph.
1:13; 4:30)
The guarantee mark that we will receive eternal life
3.) First fruits or down payment (Rom.
8:23; 2 Cor.
1:22; 5:5; Eph.
1:14)
C. His sanctifying ministry
1.) Scripture associates the Holy Spirit as the entity of sanctification – He matures/transforms us (1 Peter 1:2; 2 Thess.
2:13)
2.) The Holy Spirit produces Christ-likeness in our lives.
(Gal.
5:22-23; 2 Cor.
3:18)
The fruit of the Spirit is not self produced!
Paul further teaches in 2 Cor.
3:18 that sanctification is an ongoing reality.
Metamorphosing us.
D. other particular ministries of the Holy Spirit
1.) Prayer (Rom.
8:26-27; Eph.
2:18)
The HS helps us in our weaknesses – particularly in our prayers.
We don’t know how to pray according to God’s will.
Ignorance, confusion, poverty.
The HS intercedes for us.
Inexpressible in words – or in unspoken words
Because the Father knows the HS - Intercedes with perfect intensions
We can’t pray except the HS provides access to the Father for us.
It is wrought by Jesus.
2.) Illumination of the word of God (1 Cor.
2:12-15)
The natural man can’t understand the things of God and needs illumination by the Spirit of God.
HS inspired the authors and illuminates the readers.
Helps us understand it rightly
Spirit filled believers grasp what the HS reveals in His inspired word
We must learn and be sensitive to His leading - remembering that the Holy Spirit will never lead us away from God’s Word, but will always affirm it...
3.) Distribution of Spiritual gifts (1 Cor.
12-14)
It is His will what gifts you have
We are to use them for the benefit of the church
There may be benefit for self, but that is never the primary reason we have it.
4.) Provides guidance (Rom.
8:4-6, 14; Gal.
5:16; Acts 16:6-15)
Paul here emphasizes that the law of the Spirit has set us free from the law of sin and death.
As we walk in the Spirit, we will fulfill His law.
In reality, Walking in the HS changes our desires…
Gives guidance
They travelled 400 miles before preaching the Gospel to Lydia…
Sense a prompting – Obey!
5.) Creates and sustains unity and fellowship among Christians (Eph.
4:30; 2 Cor.
13:14; Phil.
2:1-2; Rom.
15:30; Col. 1:8; Rom.
14:17; 1 Thess.
1:6)
Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit, but rather work hard to maintain (keep)the Unity of the Spirit
how is this possible?
– The HS gives us love for one another
- the HS gives us joy
In Galatians 5 Paul is addressing 15 manifestations of the flesh (8 deal with disunity in the church)
6.) Empowerment for evangelism (Acts 1:8; 4:8; 5:27-32; Luke 12:11-12)
E. Avoid sinning against the Holy Spirit (Eph.
4:30; 1 Thess.
5:19)
– Paul says the HS is the seal – He is grieved when we disobey...
Don’t quenched – cold water on raging fire – specifically the HS gifting.
Don’t sin – obey
a.) be filled with the Holy Spirit (Eph.
