Fully divine, the Holy Spirit permanently indwells
and seals every believer from the moment of salvation
unto the day of redemption. The current work of the Holy
Spirit is to convict the world of sin, bring new life to
those who are spiritually dead, and empower all
believers to live godly lives.
John 3:3-8
3 Jesus answered and
said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one
is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4
Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he
is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's
womb and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus
answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is
born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God. 6 “That
which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 “Do
not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born
again.’ 8 “The wind
blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but
do not know where it comes from and where it is going;
so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
John 14:16-18,26
16 “I will ask the
Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may
be with you forever; 17 that
is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know
Him because He abides with you and will be in you. 18 “I
will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 26 “But
the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to
your remembrance all that I said to you.
John 16:7-11
7 “But I tell you
the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for
if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you;
but if I go, I will send Him to you. 8 “And
He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin
and righteousness and judgment; 9 concerning
sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 and
concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and
you no longer see Me; 11 and
concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has
been judged.
Acts 5:3-4
3 But Peter said, “Ananias,
why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy
Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? 4 “While
it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And
after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is
it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You
have not lied to men but to God.”
1 Corinthians 3:16
16 Do you not know
that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God
dwells in you?
Galatians 2:20
20 “I have been
crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live,
but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in
the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave Himself up for me.
Galatians 5:16,22-23
16 But I say, walk by
the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the
flesh. 22 But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness,
self-control; against such things there is no law.
Ephesisans 1:13-14
13 In Him, you also,
after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of
your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed
in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who
is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to
the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of
His glory.
Ephesians 4:30
30 Do not grieve the
Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day
of redemption.
