It is our prayer that by the end of 2017, we will all find more delight in understanding what we believe and why we believe it. “…And he answered,“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27 (ESV) One of the primary roles of the Holy Spirit is to convict people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment (John 16:8-11).

Less than a minute later, she found the required paper, filed in the wrong spot, and the problem was resolved.The Holy Spirit provides wise counsel to Christ’s followers. Jesus knew he would be going away and that his followers would need the Holy Spirit as a helper and an advocate to remind them of his teachings. 2. He Convicts the World of Sin Knowing that we are eternally secure in Christ, we can live boldly for Him, unafraid of the challenges and trials we face in this life. Conclusion When we come to faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit seals us, marking us as God’s own and guaranteeing our eternal inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14). This assurance gives us confidence in our salvation and hope for the future.

The Holy Spirit empowers Christians for service in many ways such as giving spiritual gifts to equip them for ministry (1 Cor. 12:11). He makes our prayers effective, he makes the scriptures come alive and he speak to our hearts. He empowers us to overcome spiritual opposition to the preaching of the gospel and to God’s work in people’s lives. The Spirit of God also gives us discernment in situations of spiritual conflict against forces of darkness.
