About This Book

A theological and practical exposition arguing that the Holy Spirit is a divine Person and describing scriptural basis and experiential implications. Chapters treat personality, deity, distinction and subordination, names, cosmic work, conviction of sin, witness to Jesus, regeneration, indwelling, sanctification, formation of Christlike character, guidance, sonship, teaching, prayer, worship, bodily sanctification, baptism with the Spirit, and the Spirit's role in prophets, apostles, and in Jesus. The author mixes biblical exegesis with pastoral examples to explain how the Spirit transforms believers, equips for service, and shapes Christian life and practice.

Footnotes

1.: Both the translators of the Authorized Version and the Revised Version, and even the translators of the American Revision, seem to have lost sight of the context, for while they spell “Spirit” in the third verse with a capital, in the sixth verse, in all three versions it is spelled with a small “s.”
2.: The ministry of many an orthodox preacher and teacher is a ministry of death. It is true that the Word of the Gospel is preached but it is preached with enticing words of man's wisdom and not in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power (1 Cor. ii. 4). The Gospel comes in word only and not in power and in the Holy Spirit (1 Thess. i. 5).
