Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11 Ephesians 6:11

The Holy Spirit & the Old Testament

the Old Testament was given 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20-21 He is the One by whom the Old Testament was given

the Old Testament was given 16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” He is the One by whom the Old Testament was given

the Old Testament was given 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 2 Peter 1:16-19 He is the One by whom the Old Testament was given

The Holy Spirit & the New Testament

the New Testament was given 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 He is the one by whom the New Testament was given

the New Testament was given 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10 He is the one by whom the New Testament was given

the New Testament was given 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1 Corinthians 2:13 He is the one by whom the New Testament was given

The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth about the church 1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— 2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth about the church

The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth about the church 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: 6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth about the church

The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth about the church 7 of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. Ephesians 3:1-7 The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth about the church

What the Word does, the Spirit does

The Spirit is the one who produces a new birth through the Word of God 22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, 1 Peter 1:22-23 The Spirit is the one who produces a new birth through the Word of God

The Spirit sanctifies people by the word of truth 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 The Spirit sanctifies people by the word of truth

The Spirit sanctifies people by the word of truth Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. John 17:17 The Spirit sanctifies people by the word of truth

The Spirit leads people to become God’s children 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:14-17 The Spirit leads people to become God’s children

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 How?

17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. Romans 6:17-18 How?

1. We must remember the Holy Spirit accomplishes His work through the word of God. 2. The Word of God is living and continues to lead the tender hearted to obedience and forgiveness of sins. Conclusion
