Excerpt from Chapter 4 The Holy Spirit at Work in Us

 

 

“There is therefore now no condemnation who is in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 NKJV The eighth chapter of Romans is one of the greatest teachings in the Bible on the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. The following points summarize the teaching of the Apostle Paul about the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT who speaks with the voice of clarity and truth. His voice never sounds confusing, and He never speaks empty words that have no meaning. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT who keeps us from guessing about our right standing and relationship with God. There is no guesswork with the Holy Spirit. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT who assures us of our security in Christ, who places within us the heart-cry “Abba Father,” and who speaks to us as true heirs of the promises of God. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT who testifies to us our freedom from all condemnation, who applies to our hearts the law of liberty provided through Christ’s atonement, and who frees us from the power of sin and its consequences. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT who places our feet upon the pathway of peace, who indwells us, who assures us that we are God’s children, who brings us the mind of Christ, who leads us to the things that please God, who renews our physical bodies, and who frees us from all bondage and fear. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT who helps us in our weaknesses, who prays for us in our need, who lines up everything in our lives according to the will of God, who puts heaven in our vision, hope in our hearts, and joy in our journeys as He reveals to us our true riches in Christ. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT who tells us, over and over again, that we are the Lord’s, that the Father loves us, that God is for us, that He is working all things together for good, and that Jesus is our Savior, our Shepherd, and our coming King. IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT who brings the reality of Christ to our hearts, the fellowship of God to our spirits, the light of the Scriptures to our understanding, and who makes the communion we have with other believers possible. The work of the Holy Spirit never goes out of date, becomes dull or stale, or loses its power. As He worked in the lives of the believers in the Bible, so He works in our lives today. His work is and always will be relevant in every generation. © 2017, 2023 Roy Lessin, The Holy Spirit Book. Used with permission, all rights reserved.
