What Does the Holy Spirit Do?
What Does the Holy Spirit Do?Chapter 5 — New Life
Lesson 33: What Does the Holy Spirit Do?The Holy Spirit shows us the truth, changes our hearts, and helps us obey God.
Explanation
The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal energy, but God Himself, working in His people. He convicts us of sin, shows us the beauty of the Lord Jesus, and helps us understand the Bible.
Without the work of the Spirit, the heart stays cold and resistant. With His help, we begin to love the truth, to long for holiness, and to grow to be more like the Lord Jesus.
Bible story
In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit comes upon the Church at Pentecost and fills the disciples with power and courage. He guides them, strengthens them, and makes them witnesses of the Lord Jesus to the ends of the earth.
Remember
- The truth: The Holy Spirit shows us the truth, changes our hearts, and helps us obey God.
- The Holy Spirit is God and works for real in God’s children.
- His main work is to point us to the Lord Jesus and to change our lives.
John 14:26
“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.”
