The Holy Spirit’s Work
Convicts us of our sin and unbelief.
When he comes, he will prove the world to be in
the wrong about sin; about sin, because
people do not believe in me. Jn.8:8-9
Convinces us of holiness of Christ,
our sinless sacrifice.
When he comes, he will prove the world to be in
the wrong about … righteousness. About
righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer Jn. 8:8, 10
Convicts us of the judgment of Satan and the world yet
to come.
When he comes, he will prove the world to be in
the wrong about …judgment: about
judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. Jn.
8:8,11
Grants New Life
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient,
deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one
another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God
our Savior appeared,
5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his
mercy. He saved us through the washing of
rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he
poured out on us generously through Jesus
Christ our Savior, (Titus 3:3-6)
Baptism of the Holy Spirit into the
Body of Christ
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to
form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave
or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to
drink. 1 Cor. 12:13
Lives in believers
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s
temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your
midst?1 Cor. 3:16
Inspires holyliving and delivers us from the power
of sin.
1 Corinthians 10:13 “… the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is
faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up
against it. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you will not give into
it”
2 Thessalonians 3:3 “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and
protect you from the evil one” (NIV)
James 4:7 promises, “Surrender to God!
Resist the devil, and he will run from you.”
Gives spiritualgifts.
1 Cor. 12:4 There are different kinds of
spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source
of them all.
6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of
us.

The Fruit of the Spiritthe fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Gal 5:22-23

When you believed, you were marked in him with a
seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit
guaranteeing our inheritance until the
redemption of those who are God’s possession
Ephe. 1:13-14
Rom. 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s
children.

When he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the
truth. John 16:13

Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will
send him to you. Jhn16:7-8
Intercedes for us.
Rom 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought
to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless
groans.
Enables us to worship
John 4:23-24 Yet a time is coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in
spirit and in truth."

his filling.
"He, the Holy Spirit gave gifts to people... to
prepare all God's people for the work of Christian service in order to build up the body of Christ" Ephesians 4.11-12.

Acts 1:8 Jesus said, "When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with
power, and you will be witnesses for me.
Acts 4.31b, "They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to proclaim God's message with boldness."
We are instructed to:
Be led by the Spirit.
Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of
God are children of God.
Walk in the Spirit
Gal. 5:16 So I say, walkby the Spirit, and you
will not gratify thedesires of the flesh.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit
Keep on being filled with the
Spirit.
Eph. 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with
the Spirit…
Learn from the Spirit
1 Cor. 2:12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
Use our spiritual gifts for the good
of the Body of Christ.
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the
evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of
service, so that the body of Christ may be built up…
Ephe 4:11-12
