  1. Pneumatology: What Does the Holy Spirit Do? A Study of the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit

  2. “The Christian life begins and continues by the power of the Holy Spirit, whom God has graciously sent first to awaken us to our need for salvation, then to give us a new birth, and finally to dwell within us to eventually present us flawless when Christ returns.” John MacArthur, The Silent Shepherd.

  3. THE DEITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT • Divine titles of the Holy Spirit • Attributes of the Holy Spirit • Omniscience • Omnipresence • Omnipotence • Truth • Wisdom • Work of the Holy Spirit • Creation • Inspiration • Virgin birth of Christ • Regeneration of man • Comfort of man • Sanctification of man • Intercessor for man in prayer

  4. THE PERSONALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT • He is a person because of His intellect, emotions, and will • He is a person because of His functions • He is a person because of His relationships

  5. THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT • was limited in number • was limited in duration • was for special service

  6. REGENERATING WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT • In the Old Testament • Conviction of sin • Transformation of heart • In the New Testament • The Holy Spirit is the producer of new life • The instrument the Holy Spirit uses to regenerate men is the Word of God

  7. THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT • To believe in Christ is to receive baptism of the Spirit • Receiving the baptism of Spirit means being placed in the body of Christ • Every believer receives the same Spirit at point of salvation • The Holy Spirit is God’s agent in bringing believers into body of Christ. It is the Spirit’s initiation and work that produces His baptism. • Salvation and baptism are not two separate phases of regeneration.

  8. THE SEALING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT • The dominant truths about the Spirit’s work to seal believers are the ideas of ownership, authority, responsibility, and security: • The certainty of possession by God. • The certainty of the promise of His salvation. • The certainty of His purpose to keep us until the day of redemption. • “…only God can break the seal of our redemption, and He has promised not to do so; and the guarantee of that promise is the presence of the Holy Spirit who is the one in whom we have been sealed by God.” [Ryrie, The Holy Spirit.]

  9. THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT • Jn. 14:6 — He is given as a promise of Christ • Eph. 1:13 — He is given at the time of salvation • 1 Cor. 6:19 — He is given to all believers (even the not so godly ones) • Eph. 4:30 — He is given as a promise of the future • Psalm 51:11 — He is given, never to be taken away

  10. THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit…” (Eph. 5:18)

  11. THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT • Filling, unlike indwelling and sealing, is a command • Filling is conditional • Filling is repeated

  12. THE SIN AGAINSTTHE HOLY SPIRIT • The sin was against Christ • The sin was against the Holy Spirit • The sin against the Spirit was eternal

  13. THE GIFTS OFTHE HOLY SPIRIT • These gifts are gifts of grace • The gifts are various, but the source and purpose is the same • The gifts are exercised by the individual, but God is still the One who does the work • These gifts are supernatural, not natural • These gifts are to each individual believer to be used in serving others • These gifts are to be used in proportion to the grace that gave them to us • These gifts are given according to the Spirit’s will, not worthiness or unworthiness • These gifts are for the benefit of the entire church
