"The doctrine of the Personality f th Holv Spirit," says R. A. Tr.w "in both fundamental and, who does not know the Holy Spirit as a person has not al tuined to a complete and well-round ed Christian experience. Anyuu who knows God the Father and God the Son, but who does not know God the Holy Spirit, has not attained unto the Christian conception of God, nor to a fully Christian experience." which arise in the minds of some is, 'What is the function of the Holy Spirit " In a discussion of the gift of the Holy Spirit, Dr. John Snape says that four propositions illustrate and explain the operations of the Holy Spirit in his relation with men. These prepo sitions are: to, in, with and upon. Thus the Holy Spirit comes to men when he convicts them of sin; in men at their regeneration; with men for fellowship; and upon men for power. In talking with Nicodemus about the new birth, Jesus said that no one ran enter the inedom of God until he is born of the Spirit. Therefore, it must be, very Important that we know how this new birth comes about IchapSnokenews and what part the Holy Spirit plays in such regeneration First, the Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit convicts, of sin. Jesus said, "And when he (Holy Spirit) is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" (John 16:8). The Holy Bmrit auickens the heart of man into a recognition of sin, a con sciousness of having done wrong, a recognition of guilt and a realization of his separation from God. Then, the Holy Spirit points the unsaved to the Saviour, Jesus Christ. While this produces a deeper sense of sin, in contrast to Christ's sinless life, it also assures the sinner of God's love. The acceptance by the sinner of Christ as his Saviour is consummated when the Holy Spirit imparts to the trusting soul spiritual life. Thus, we owe our salvation to the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. Through him, God draws the sinner to himself, causing him to renounce his sin, seek God's forgiveness and surrender his soul to Him. After the sinning soul is regener ated, is the Holy Spirit through with by him? By no means. Paul declared, that he dwells always in the life of the Christian, for "Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you" (I Cor. 6:19). He gives the Christian assurance of his salvation. He gives victory over gin. What a comforting thought it should be to the Christian to know that he does not fight the battle against sinful temptations alone, but that the Holy Spirit ever present to give victory over sin. The Holy Spirit teaches' the Chris tian more about Christ, more about our Father, God, and more of our own responsibilities and privileges in carrying out God's will in the world. With the help of the Holy Spirit, the Christian can experience the joy of serving. He also gives power for telling about Christ to those who know him not He helps in prayer, "making intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." He is our comforter in sorrow, giving nope and courage, consolation and strength, en abling the believer to stand steadfast. He also helps the Christian to. bring forth the fruits of goodness. -Paul lists the fruits of the Spirit as "love, joy, peace, long-suffering,' gentle ness, goodness,, faith, meekness, tem perance." With the help of the Holy Spirit, every Christian can be a fruit-bearer. S5C YOUR KODAK FILM DEVELOPED AND PRINTED 6 or 8 exposure roll film developed and printed all for 25 cents.
