THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Posted on

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.”                          John 16:13 NIV

 

Knowing He’d soon have to leave, Jesus gave His disciples this encouragement: God would send a Helper to indwell, guide, and empower them. In Acts 2:4, as promised, they were filled with the Holy Spirit. We enjoy the same blessing: the third member of the Trinity takes up residence within us as we trust Jesus as Saviour and Lord. But God’s Spirit also has a role in the life of nonbelievers. Namely, He has a threefold task in drawing them to our Lord. He convicts the world of: Sin: His goal is not just to bring a guilty feeling, but to show the need for a Saviour. Righteousness: To come to faith, one must understand that Jesus Christ lived a holy life but was crucified for our sin. Then He rose again, conquering death and offering redemption to all. Judgment: Scripture teaches that after death, those who didn’t trust Jesus as Savior will stand before God and be judged. The Holy Spirit is crucial to salvation. For one thing, Satan has blinded unbelievers to the truth about God (2 Corinthians 4:4), but the Holy Spirit can open their understanding. What’s more, the unsaved are dead in their sins (Ephesians 2:1). Just as a corpse cannot breathe life into himself, a lost soul is unable to understand spiritual truth. Every salvation is clearly a supernatural act of God. Let us witness in the power of the Holy Spirit.
