Basic Doctrines of the Christian Faith -PART 2 5) The Personality and Work of
the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit
is the Person of the Godhead who convicts the world of sin, indwells all
believers in the present age, baptizes them into the Body of Christ, seals them
unto the day of redemption. It is the duty of every believer to be filled
with the Holy Spirit.
(Gen 1:2 KJV)
And the earth was without
form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon
the face of the waters.
(Job 33:4
KJV)
The spirit of God hath
made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me
life.
(John 15:26
KJV)
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(Jesus Christ):
(Mat
12:32 KJV)
And whosoever speaketh a
word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh
against the Holy Ghost, it
shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this world,
neither in the world to come.
(John 14:16-18
KJV)
And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for
ever;
{17} Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him: but ye know
him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
{18} I will not leave you
comfortless: I will come to you.
(Rom 8:9-11 KJV)
But ye are
not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in
you.
Now if any man
have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
{10} And if
Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit
is life because of righteousness.
{11} But if the
Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised
up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies
by his Spirit
that dwelleth in you.
(1 Cor
12:12-14 KJV)
For as the body is one, and
hath many members,
and all the members of that one
body,
being many, are one body: so
also is Christ.
{13} For by one Spirit are we all
baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made to drink
into one Spirit.
{14} For the body is not one
member, but many.
(Eph 1:13-14 KJV)
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,
{14} Which is the earnest of our
inheritance
until the redemption of the
purchased possession,
unto the praise of his
glory.
(Eph 5:15-20
KJV)
See then that ye walk
circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
{16} Redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.
{17} Wherefore be ye not
unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
{18} And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit;
{19} Speaking to yourselves in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody in your
heart to the Lord;
{20} Giving thanks always for all
things unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ;
6)
Salvation
Salvation in every dispensation is the gift of God brought to man
by grace. Salvation is received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ, whose efficacious death on the Cross provided man's reconciliation to
God.
(Eph 1:7 KJV)
In whom we
have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
(Eph 2:4-10 KJV)
But God, who is
rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
{5} Even when we
were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace
ye are saved;)
{6} And
hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus:
{7} That in the
ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness
toward us through Christ Jesus.
{8} For by grace
are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift
of God: {9} Not of works, lest any man should boast. {
10} For we are
his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God
hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
(John 1:11-14
KJV)
He came unto his own, and
his own received him not.
{12} But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his
name:
{13} Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but
of God.
{14} And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and
truth.
(Mat 13:18-23
KJV)
Hear ye therefore the
parable of the sower.
(19) When any one heareth
the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not,
then cometh the wicked one,
and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.
This is he which received seed by
the way side.
(20) But he that received the seed
into stony places,
the same is he that heareth the
word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
(21) Yet hath he not root in
himself, but dureth for a while:
for when tribulation or
persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
(22) He also that received seed
among the thorns is he that heareth the word;
and the care of this world, and
the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
(23) But he that received seed
into the good ground
is he that heareth the word, and
understandeth it;
which also beareth fruit, and
bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some
thirty. 7) The Eternal Security of
Believers
All believers are kept
secure in their salvation forever.
(Rom
8:1-5 KJV)
There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but
after the Spirit.
{2} For the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
{3} For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending his own Son in
the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
{4} That the righteousness of the
law might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not after the flesh, but
after the Spirit.
{5} For they that are after
the flesh do mind the things of the flesh;
but they that are after the
Spirit the things of the Spirit.
(Rom 8:37-39
KJV)
Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him that loved us.
{38} For I am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come,
{39} Nor height, nor depth, nor
any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from
the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
(John 10:27-30
KJV)
My sheep hear my voice, and
I know them, and they follow me:
{28} And I give unto them eternal
life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
{29} My Father, which gave them
me, is greater than all;
and no man is able to pluck them
out of my Father's hand.
{30} I and my Father are
one.
(1 Cor 1:4-9
KJV)
I thank my God always on
your behalf,
for the grace of God which is
given you by Jesus Christ;
{5} That in every thing ye are
enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
{6} Even as the testimony of
Christ was confirmed in you:
{7} So that ye come behind in no
gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
{8} Who shall also confirm you
unto the end,
that ye may be blameless in the
day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
{9} God is faithful, by whom ye
were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our
Lord.
(1 John 5:9-13
KJV)
If we receive the witness of
men, the witness of God is greater:
for this is the witness of
God which he hath testified of his Son.
{10} He that believeth on the Son
of God hath the witness in himself:
he that believeth not God
hath made him a liar;
because he believeth not the
record that God gave of his Son.
{11} And this is the record, that
God hath given to us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
{12} He that hath the Son hath
life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
{13} These things have I written
unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may know that ye have
eternal life,
and that ye may believe on the
name of the Son of God.
