What I believe about the Person and work of the Holy Spirit

The Person and work of the Holy Spirit ~ we believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the Supernatural agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption (John 16:8-11; II Cor. 3:6; I Cor. 12:12-14; Rom. 8:9; Eph. 5:18).

Why this is important:

The role of the Holy Spirit in our lives connects us with the Father through the Son. The Spirit resides in us and gives us the power to love and serve in Jesus' name. When we live a life of ministry we do not do this in the flesh, but in the power of God through the Holy Spirit. The amazing gift of God to us that has sealed us for the day of redemption is the unique identity of God in us, giving us the power to serve and love. Without the Holy Spirit, nothing eternal or spiritual would take place in and through our lives. We are fully dependant on the Holy Spirit to be at work in our lives and ministries.
