Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”

Convicts/Convinces Holy Spirit John 16:8, “…when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment…” TODAY the Holy Spirit IN US convinces us through the Word Titus 1:9, “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.”

New Birth Holy Spirit John 3:5, “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.”

New Birth The Holy Spirit helps us understand through the Word what it means to be born again James 1:18, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.” 1 Peter 1:23, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”

Washes/Sanctifies/Saves Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 6:11, “…ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” Holy Spirit through the Word saves us Ephesians 5:25-26, “…Christ also loved the church and gave him self for it that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word…”

Washes/Sanctifies/Saves Holy Spirit John 17:17, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” James 1:21, “…lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.”

Witnesses/Testifies Holy Spirit Romans 8:16, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God…” The Holy Spirit uses the Word John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me…”

Witnesses/Testifies Holy Spirit Romans 8:16, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God…” For example Holy Spirit says “Saved by the blood” Our Spirit agrees –(Our human spirit) 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Holy Spirit says “we need to repent” Our Spirit agrees WE ARE IN HARMONY

Perfects Love Holy Spirit Romans 5:5, …the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Holy Spirit through the Word helps us to know what is right and true, what God expects of us 1 John 2:5-6, “…whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”

How Do We Know The Holy Spirit Dwells in Us? By hearing God’s word Romans 10:17, “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Galatians 3:2, “Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” Ephesians 4:4-6, “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

How Do We Know The Holy Spirit Dwells in Us? By studying God’s word Ephesians 3:3-5, “How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit…” 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

How Do We Know The Holy Spirit Dwells in Us? By obeying God’s word John 8:24, “…if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.” Luke 13:3, “…except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Matthew 10:32, “Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.”

How Do We Know The Holy Spirit Dwells in Us? By obeying God’s word Mark 16:16, “…he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved…” Revelation 2:10, “…be thou faithful unto death…”

RECEIVING THE SPIRIT THROUGH HEARING “This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” (GALATIANS 3:2) “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (ROMANS 10:17) CANNOT SEPARATE OUR RECEPTION OF THE SPIRIT FROM RECEIVING THE REVEALED WORD OF THE SPIRIT

RECEIVING THE SPIRIT THROUGH OBEDIENCE “And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him” (ACTS 5:32) CANNOT SEPARATE OUR RECEPTION OF THE SPIRIT FROM ‘OBEYING’ THE REVEALED WORD OF THE SPIRIT

WE “HEAR” AND “OBEY,” GOD SENDS FORTH HIS SPIRIT INTO OUR HEARTS! RECEIVING THE SPIRIT WHEN WE “HEAR” AND “OBEY,” GOD SENDS FORTH HIS SPIRIT INTO OUR HEARTS! “And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’” GALATIANS 4:6

IS THE SPIRIT IN YOUR HEART? DO YOU HEAR THE WORD OR THE WORLD? WILL YOU OBEY THE WORD OR THE WORLD TODAY? THE SPIRIT PLEADS FOR YOU TO OBEY TODAY! “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (ROMANS 8:14)

IT IS A PROMISE OF GOD THAT The Holy Spirit dwells in us and saves us, when we Believe and Obey God’s word. Ephesians 1:13-14, “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are ROMANS 8:14 GALATIANS 3:26, 27 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are For you are all through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. “SONS OF GOD” STATEMENT XPLANATION
