The Holy Spirit In The Old Testament
Connecting the Dots Series
1/26/2022
“To the believer: Dear brother, honour the Spirit of God as you would honour
Jesus Christ if he were present.
If Jesus Christ were dwelling in your house you
would not ignore him, you would not go about your business as if he were not
there.
Do not ignore the presence of the Holy Spirit in your soul.
I beseech you,
do not live as if you had not heard whether there were any Holy Spirit.
To him
pay your constant adorations.
Reverence the august guest who has been pleased
to make your body his sacred abode.
Love him, obey him, worship him.”
-Charles Spurgeon

“The verb used to describe the Holy Spirit’s coming upon Mary carries the same connotation at the term
used in Genesis 1 to describe the creative power of the Spirit of God.
The Holy Spirit came into the formlessness and
hovered or brooded.
As a hen broods over her eggs in order to bring forth life, so the Spirit produced order and
substance and light.
God, as the New Testament says, is not the author of confusion (1 Cor.
14:33).
He does not
generate chaos.
The Spirit of God brings order out of disorder; He brings something out of nothing; He brings light
out of darkness.”
(Sproul, 174-175).
