XXI. The Work of the Holy Spirit
1. THE HOLY SPIRIT PRODUCES THE NEW BIRTH
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth:
so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8
Verily, verily,
I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5.
2. HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26.
3. HE SHALL TESTIFY OF ME
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father,
he shall testify of me. John 15:26.
4. HE WILL REPROVE THE WORLD OF SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGMENT
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on
me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no
more. John 16:8-10.
5. HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH: SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you
into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to
come. John 16:13.
6. HE SHALL GLORIFY ME
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it
unto you. John 16:14.
7. YE SHALL RECEIVE POWER AFTER HOLY GHOST IS COME UPON YOU
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:8.
