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.
