Understanding the Spirit (Part 4)

Speaker: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti
Series: Understanding The Spirit

1.  The Regenerating work of the Holy Spirit is “the work of God which gives new life to the one who believes.” (Ryrie) Titus 3:5; John 3:3-7

-it is necessary because man is spiritual dead, Ephesians 2:1-10; Romans 5:12-21

-it is a supernatural work of God, John 1:12,13

-faith in the gospel is the human responsibility, 1 Peter 1:23; James 1:18

-results in a new nature, new life, eternal life, 2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Peter 1:4

2.  The Indwelling work of the Holy Spirit is the ministry of the Holy Spirit in taking up residence within the life of the believer the moment he comes to faith in Christ.

-believers are never commanded to be indwelt, it is assumed

-the presence of the Spirit is an indication of salvation, Romans 8:9

-all believers are indwelt regardless of their spiritual condition, 1 Corinthians 6:19

-the indwelling is permanent, Ephesians 4:30; 2 Corinthians 1:22

-the indwelling results in power to conform to the image of Jesus; helps our prayer life; makes the control (filling) of the Spirit possible; makes supernatural living possible
