What the Bible Says About Holy Spirit

Bol

Have you ever wanted to know more of what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit? These six studies about the Holy Spirit, his work, his activity, and his gifts are deceptively short, simple, and clear. Each one can be read quickly, but if you really delve into them – checking the Scriptures, working through the Bible studies, thinking through the reflection questions – you will find a rich study resource. The Bible Themes resource at the end is a useful alphabetical listing of key Bible themes that gives practical and teaching help along with Scripture references. The “see also” cross references are linked within the section. You can use this ebook for personal Bible study or for group study. The church of Jesus Christ has survived martyrdom and persecution across the centuries, and yet it continues to grow and thrive. Nations may rise and fall, but they are only a footnote to the ongoing victory of Christ’s world-wide family. Great spiritual awakenings always feature moral repentance, thousands of conversions, and a thirst for the Scriptures and for heartfelt prayer. All this is due to the work of the Holy Spirit. Just before Jesus ascended into heaven, he told his disciples, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses . . . to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). When the Holy Spirit transforms a person, the fruit of the Spirit will be demonstrated in that believer as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

This book is a clear, readable study of what the Bible actually teaches about the Holy Spirit. The author writes: Have you ever tried to convince a person that one day they will stand before God and answer for every idle word they have uttered and every thought they have had, and every feeling that passed through their minds? Have you ever tried to convince anyone that they are going to be judged for their whole life, and that things they have forgotten for years will be brought up again? Have you ever tried to convince somebody that this is true? You never will. People today don't believe there is a judgment, they don't believe in hell, they don't believe in anything like that. How will we convince them? The answer is the Holy Spirit will convince the world (not the church) of sin and righteousness and judgment. When someone is convinced of those three things they are ripe for the gospel, ready for the Saviour. They want to know how they can escape. How can I get out of this terrible dilemma? I am bad, God is perfectly good. When I meet him face-to-face I shall have to run from him. How can I get out of this? Then you can tell them: "Jesus died for you. Jesus died that you might be forgiven. He died to make you good, that you might go at last to heaven, saved by his precious blood." That is when the gospel comes in.
