One Hundred New Testament Facts as to the Holy Spirit

WE give a summary of the teaching of the New Testament concerning the Holy Spirit.

  1. The Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit; anointed by the Spirit; the Spirit was not given to Him by measure, but was upon Him in His divine fulness; He was led by the Spirit; His ministry was in the power of the Spirit; His works were done by the Spirit of God; He promised the Spirit to His disciples; He offered Himself by the eternal Spirit; He was raised by the Spirit; He gave commandment by the Spirit; He sent forth the Spirit.

  2. John the Baptist and the Spirit. John the Baptist was filled with the Spirit from his mother's womb; being the greatest of the Old Testament prophets he witnessed concerning the kingdom, the first and second advent of Christ.
