Fundamentals Of The FaithPneumatology—The Person And Work Of The Holy Spirit—Part II

Raymond Pruitt

II. The Work of the Holy Spirit

The work of the Spirit may be summed up under the following headings: His work in the creation and preservation of the universe; His

work among men in general; His work in relation to the Scriptures; His work in relation to Jesus Christ; His work in the believer. In general

it may be said that it is the special task of the Holy Spirit to bring God's purpose to completion by acting immediately upon and in the

creature. Just as He Himself is the Person who completes the Trinity, so His unique opera ad extra activity is to bring to completion God's

purpose in His creatures and in the finishing of God's work in every sphere. His work follows the work of the Son, just as the work of the

Son follows that of the Father. This is a point which should never be forgotten, for if the work of the Spirit is divorced from that of the Son,

distortions and excesses arise which corrupt the scriptural teaching regarding His nature and work. Jesus said of Him, "Howbeit when he,

the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he

speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that

the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:13-15).

1 His work in the creation and preservation of the universe.

a The generation of life is mediated by the Holy Ghost (Gen. 1:3; Job 26:13; Psa. 104:30; 33:6). The Trinity is credited with the

creation in Psalm 33:6: "By the word (the Son) of the Lord (the Father) were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath

(the Spirit) of his mouth." It may be said that the Father created all things through the agency of the Word and the Spirit. The role of the

Spirit is prominent in the creation (Gen. 1:2), as He puts the finishing touch to everything initiated in the creation.

b His work in the preservation of nature and the continuation of its cycles. "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because

the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it" (Isa. 40:7). He is in the fading colors of autumn, the fierce blast of winter, the regeneration of life

in the springtime, and in the warm breezes of the summer.

2. His work among men in general.

a. He reproves the world. If His primary work to believers is that of teacher and interpreter, He is the accuser to the world. "And

when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of

righteousness, because go to my Father, and me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged" (John 16:8-11).

b. He bears a constant witness of Christ and His finished work on Calvary to the world of unregenerate mankind. The

Spirit of truth he shall testify of me" (John 15:26). "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost" (Acts 5:3 lie

inspires and qualifies men for their work in government, science, art, etc. (Ex. 28:3; 31:2-6; 35:35; 1 Sam. 11:6, 7; 16:13, 14). This is true

in the sense that God is the Source of every good thing. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from. above, and cometh down from the

Father of lights" (James 1:17). God is not, however, responsible for the evil things men do in these areas. Satan leads wicked men to misuse

their talents.

3. His work in relation to the Scriptures.

a. He is the Author of the Scriptures. "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake

as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Pet. 1:21). "All scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16), which is to say, by the

inbreathing of God (Theopneustos)."Hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches," (Rev. 2 and 3).

b. He is the Interpreter of the Scriptures. He is ". . . the Spirit of wisdom and revelation . . ." (Eph. 1:17; see also 1Cor. 2:10).

"He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:14).

4. His work in relation to Jesus Christ.

a. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost. "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,

and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee' therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of

God" (Luke 1:35).

b. He was anointed by the Holy Ghost. "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about

doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38).

c. He offered Himself through the Spirit in the crucifixion. "Who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to

God" (Heb. 9:14).

d. He was resurrected through the power of the Spirit. "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit

of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead" (Rom. 1:4); "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he

that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you" (Rom. 8:11).

e. He gave commandments to His disciples and the church through the Holy Spirit. ". . . after that he through the Holy Ghost

had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen" (Acts 1:2).

f. The Holy Ghost bears witness of Christ. "He shall testify of me" (John 1526); "He shall not speak of himself

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:13, 14).

5. His work in the believer. It is the work of the Spirit to make effective in the hearts and lives of believers all that Christ has

accomplished in His death, resurrection, ascension, and session at the right hand of the Father.

a. The Holy Spirit regenerates. "Born . . . of the Spirit" (John 3:3-5); ". . . by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the

Holy Ghost" (Tit. 3:5); "It is the spirit that quickeneth" (John 6:63). "Just as Jesus was begotten of the Holy Ghost, so must every child

of God who is to be an heir to the kingdom."

b. The Spirit seals the believer with the assurance of salvation. "In whom also after that ye believed, ye were

sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance" (Eph. 1:13, 14); ". . . the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye

are sealed unto the day of redemption" (Eph. 4:30). The seal of the Holy Spirit stands for ownership and for likeness. It means that we

belong to Christ, having been adopted by Him, and that we are conformed to His image (cf. 2 Tim. 2:19-21). After effecting the new birth

in the believer, the Holy Ghost confirms it with His assurance in our hearts.

c. The Holy Ghost is also the Sanctifier. As He is the Regenerator, so also, He is the Sanctifier". . . being sanctified by the Holy

Ghost" (Rom. 15:16); ". . . ye are washed . . . ye are sanctified . . - by the Spirit of our God" (1 Cor. 6:11); ". . . through sanctification of

the Spirit and belief of the truth" (2 Thess. 2:13); ". . . through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of

Jesus Christ" (1 Pet. 1:2).

As Regenerator and Sanctifier, the Holy Ghost works within the heart and life of the believer. He is not out there somewhere

applying the finished work of Christ in us by remote control, but is within us, at the heart of our need. And unless the Spirit has worked

in us in that sense, we are not saved or sanctified, for this is exclusively the office work of the Spirit. It was regarding this aspect of His

nature that Paul wrote in Romans 8:9, "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any

man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his".

Furthermore, the Holy Spirit regenerates and sanctifies not as an end, but that He might go on to make our hearts His dwelling

place by baptizing us with His fullness. The end of sanctification is that God the Holy Spirit might dwell within the tabernacle of our being.

Sanctification is the essential preparation necessary before He can come in to dwell as Companion and Paraclete. When viewed from this

perspective, one might think of sanctification as a negative, as well as a positive, work. John MacNeil explains:

Another mistake to be carefully guarded against is this, making "cleansing" to be an end instead of a means to an end. "Cleansing"

is not the blessing that we are seeking; it is only a means. The end is the "Filling of the Holy Ghost." "Cleansing" is a negative blessing,

the separating from sin, but we can only be satisfied with a positive blessing. When the housewife cleans the house, does she then go out

and live in the yard? Not so. She cleans the house that it may be more fit for her to inhabit. God cleanses, "empties, sweeps, and garnishes"

(Matt. 12:44), that He may come in to dwell; and if He, the Holy One, does come and take up His abode, He will keep His dwelling place

"clean."

d. The fullness of the Spirit. The filling of the Spirit, or the baptism of the Spirit, as we have seen, is an experience beyond regeneration

and sanctification. It was not until after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ that the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the saints. (We

will deal more with the meaning of Pentecost a little later on in this study.) He came as the promised Comforter (Helper, Companion) which

Jesus said He would send, but He could not come before Christ had completed His work and returned to the Father. "It is expedient for

you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you" (John16:7).

When the Holy Spirit fills a person with His fullness, He makes the work of God real in him through His ministry of enlightening,

guiding, empowering, cleansing, anointing and teaching. The word which is translated Comforter is "Parakleetos", which means "Helper,"

"Companion". Whatever it is the Spirit-filled believer needs, he has it in the Person of the Holy Spirit (cf. John 14:16,17, 26; 15:26;

16:7.15).

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a stage of salvation that was accomplished in regeneration and sanctification but an

enduement of power for service, and equipping, and an enablement for serving the Lord and for living an abundant life in Christ. This does

not mean that the baptism of the Spirit is optional a good thing to have, but not essential to salvation. On the contrary, it is a command to

be obeyed, being fundamental to the Christian life and service. As urgent as it was that the Great Commission should be fulfilled, Jesus

told the disciples to first "tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Before He was

ascended, He told the disciples, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you" (Acts 1:8). The leaders of the

early Church were insistent that the Christians be filled with the Spirit. For example, note Paul's command to the Ephesians: "Be filled with

the Spirit" (Eph. 5:18).

We are here on earth that through us Christ may be glorified; but there is only one Person that can glorify Christ, and that is the

Holy Ghost. "He shall glorify me" (John 16:14). To the glorifying of Christ as He ought to be and might be glorified, the filling with the

Spirit is necessary.

The Holy Ghost gives the Christian constant and victory over sin. While he is still in the flesh, he does not have to be under the

power of the flesh, but can walk in the Spirit 8:12, 13; Gal. 5:16, 26). One cannot walk in the Spirit truest sense until he is filled with the

Spirit. In this we are again reminded of the Spirit's work of bringing to completion that which God has initiated in His creatures. Without

the fullness of the Spirit, the believer is living on the wrong side of Pentecost.

A careful study of seventh and eighth chapters of Romans will show a remarkable change in the life of the Spirit-filled believer

as contrasted to the one who has not yet been sanctified and filled with the Spirit. The eighth chapter speaks of the triumphant life of the

believer; the seventh chapter portrays a constant conflict between the fleshly nature and the nature of Christ. The difference lies in the

sanctifying power of Christ wrought by the Holy Ghost 290 (cf. Rom. 7:24, 25 and 8:2), and the fullness of the Spirit, which is assumed

in the eighth chapter of Romans (cf. 8:1, 4, 5, 9, 11, 13,14, 26, 27). The contrast between the Spirit-filled life and one which is still being

lived in the flesh is seen in the comparison of Romans7:25 with 8:31-39. The one is in bondage and oppressed; the other rejoices in the

Lord and in the thrilling assurance of His love.

Tips For Abundant LifeCarolyn Guyton

Be the church. I have been watching the

television series, A.D. The Bible Continues.

I’ve read the Word and heard it preached

all my life, but it is amazing how watching

this portrayal makes it so real. We are all

aware that the church is not the building

where we attend services, but it us.

Realizing that we are seeing prophecy being

fulfilled all around us, we know we must

step up and be the last days’ church. I

would like to share what has become so real

to me.

Extreme Faith. This series has made me

aware of the incredible amount of faith

Jesus’ disciples had to be able to stand up

for Him after He ascended. It’s easy for me

to read about Him and trust that the Bible is

true and by faith share with others. But

these people physically walked with Him

and looked at Him and touched Him.

Although they believed what He told them,

and personally experienced seeing Him die

and then seeing Him alive again, He had

been a human like them. As with the early

church, we must have extreme faith in order

to stand up for Him in these last days.

Experience Holy Spirit. One of the high

points of this series for me is when the Holy

Ghost fell on them in the upper room. They

were gathered together praying and seeking

God, none of them truly understanding this

new thing that was about to happen, but yet

completely open to it. It was only after this

experience that they could effectively go out

and reach others. We must gather together

and seek for, and willingly accept and

receive, the new things of Holy Spirit. Just

as that was a new day, so is this. I don’t

believe what we have experienced in the

past is going to take us through.

Go. The boldness and enthusiasm of the

early church was amazing. I was thrilled to

see this presented in A.D., to see the

determination on their faces. This kind of

boldness and determination comes only

through extreme faith and experiencing the

power of Holy Spirit. Going was their

entire purpose in life. It is what they lived

to do. We must get to the point today that

we accept that our purpose in life is to share

and bring glory to God. This is the reason

we are here.

Seek every day for the abundant life that

only comes from God.
