The Work of the Holy Spirit. h The Personality of the Spirit <Johu 16:7, S). IVrsonaHty is tiere implied by the list' of the personal pronoun. In the printout Scriptures personal pronouns are used uniformly In speaking of l$e Spirit. Then, too, He is called the t\iui toner. The word "comforter" lit erally. means one called to stand by U?e side ot another as a helper, coun sellor and guide. While Jesus so >*rned in tJie world He was such to t lis disciples. He assured them that apon His withdrawal the Holy Spirit woufd take His place as friend, helper aMl counsellor. The personality of the Sharif is also proved by the fact that He pet-forms acts only possible to per son*. In John 14:26 He performs the function of a teacher. He not only , te.<?*ires. but He speaks as a person, | jlv ag direction to the disciples as in jS(rc*'S ~? awl 13:2. > His- personality is again proved by the fact that men ?<?( toward Him as tbey could act only toward a person. I? Isaiah 63:10 the prophet declared that ?es T<ix#d the Holy Spirit, it would 'be manifestly iinpropw to speak of vexing an Influ- ^ ' puce : only a person can be vexed. In ! tfaUhew 32:31 Jesus speaks of men , iiospiienuug against tSs Wy SfWt, | it would be impossible to- blaspheme j against an influence. In Kpheslans Paul speaks of grieving the Spirit. ! Agxia. tt would be manifestly improper ! to jp?ak <>f grieving an influence.! :J**rth?c. iu 1 Corinthians 12:11 Paul of Hie Holy Spirit exercising tfc?? Suoetion uf will. One of the es- 1 wifiai characteristics Of personality teitiat of volition. The Holy Spirit | is represented as divine. He>has the attributes of deity. In Psalm 13il :7-9 He is tJeclared to be omnipresent: in! j CorittlMans 2:9-11 omniscient. He j iMM-forus the works of God. He , sst :(?e creator ami renewer (l*s. j KWrW). He is called God in Acts 5 :"-4, and- II Corinthians 3:18. ? )l. How Believers are Related te the Holy Spirit. They are regenerated by Him (John 3:o-S); they are "in dwelt by Him (I Cor. 6:19 Gal. 4:6). He also till* (Kph. 5:18 and Acts 4:"l). To be tilled with the Holy Spirit U the duty of every believer. \ one has the right to perform any w??rk tor Christ without this filling fl.akrj 24:48,40: Acts 1:8). Even the tetoporaMtles of the churth should be ! in the hands of Spirit-filled men (Acts j S.UT). HI. What the Holy Spirit Does iJ..hn 15:8:11). 3. Convicts the world of sin (y. S). The one awful sin of the world is on belief. The .Holy Spirit convicts the peopie of the world of their error con (?eraifii siu and shows their guilt be fore G id. 2.

S>12, 13). The oaly way to get the victory over ?ar yarnal natures is to give the place s?f mletship to the Holy Spirit. 5. fie leads the believer (v. 14). The Spirit-filled believer lives tha Ufe of the Son of God. - 6. He gives assurance to the be 3ever (Rom. 8:15-17). The Holy Spirit witnesses together -triih the human spirit to the reality of the new. birth. T. He enables the believer to pray according to the will of God (Rom. 8:26, 27 >.
