What is the Work of the Holy Spirit?

Introduction:

    1.   The functioning of Deity is both unified and diversified.
 

           a.  The work of each person of the Godhead is unified as all three work as one. They have a common goal, purpose and aim. There is no division in the plan of Deity. See John 17:20-21.
 

           b.  On the other hand, the work of each person of the Godhead is diversified. The Father planned the great scheme of redemption; the Son executed it; the Spirit revealed it. Each member of the Godhead had a specific work to do to make the unified whole a success.
 

    2.   As we focus on the Spirit's functioning in God's plan, questions about miracles and spiritual gifts come to the forefront.  Why were miracles necessary in the first century but not now?  How does the Holy Spirit work in the lives of people today?
 

The Lesson:

                I.     The work of revelation.
 

           A.  The Old Testament scriptures were given by revelation of the Holy Spirit. Note what the following verses say about the Old Testament prophets.
