It is sufficient that God’s word speaks much of the Spirit, for the only warrant we need to study a truth is that God teaches it in his word. However, to strengthen our motivation to study this topic deeply, let us consider reasons why it is crucial that we study the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is God. Therefore, to study the person and works of the Holy Spirit is a great opportunity to know God in a better way. Nothing is more valuable, transforming, or life-giving than the knowledge of God (Jer. 9:23–24; 31:33–34; John 17:3). In particular, the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, who especially brings us into...
Man cannot discover the wisdom of God, but God reveals his salvation by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 2:9–16). Man by his own power cannot see or enter into the kingdom of God, but God brings sinners into the kingdom by causing them to be born again by the Spirit (John 3:3–5). No one can confess Jesus as Lord without the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:3). Thus, ...
Christians and churches are prone to become imbalanced in their preaching and experience. We must maintain a proper balance between knowledge of doctrine and experience of spiritual life. This is the balance of the word and the Spirit. To overemphasize the word or the Spirit results in the coldness of intellectualism or the confusion of emotionalis...
Our worship should be Trinitarian, just as we are baptized “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matt. 28:19). We worship one God in three persons and three persons in one God.10 Thomas Watson (c. 1620–1686) wrote, “There is an order in the Godhead, but no degrees . . . therefore we must give equal worship to all the p...
From the beginning of the church, Christians have treasured the fundamentals of right doctrine (“orthodoxy”) and confessed it in their creeds. In the Apostles’ Creed, the Christian confesses, “I believe in the Holy Ghost.”12 The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is rooted in the Scriptures, was developed in the early church, and was renewed and made all ...
Science has provided us with much technology but no answers to life’s deepest questions. People desire to experience something transcendent and glorious, but our nations are adrift without direction from moral standards or divine wisdom. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit equips us to show people that Christianity offers true knowledge and genuine spi...
The Christian life consists of a battle against enemies that we can conquer only by means of the Spirit as our supernatural ally. When Christ engaged in direct combat with the Devil in the wilderness, Jesus did so as a man “full of the Holy Ghost” (Luke 4:1). Our great offensive weapon in the battle against the unseen powers of darkness is “the swo...
The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is full of man’s inability and God’s sovereignty. The Lord’s word to Zerubbabel remains the banner that flies over all Christian endeavors: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zech. 4:6). While the doctrines of sovereign grace empower human activity (Phil. 2:12–13), they undermine...
This is so because of both the triune nature of God and the plan of salvation. In the Trinity, the Son and the Spirit are distinct in their personalities but inseparable in their being and activity. So closely united are they in all their works that Paul could write of Jesus Christ, “Now the Lord is that Spirit” (2 Cor. 3:17). Furthermore, God has ...
Mar 23, 2018 · “Holy Spirit” is well written to be accessible and emotional. Praise God for His felt presence through the Holy Spirit. What more could we ever want than the very presence of God? Whether we’re aware of it or not, moment by moment, our hearts long for Him and will not be truly satisfied by anything less: I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;

Jun 5, 2014 · We need the Bible because we are sinners, and we need to have things written down. The Holy Spirit indwells believers and works in them to point us to Christ. However, the Holy Spirit does not dominate our will, our mind, and our thoughts as to change us into robots.
