The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in salvation by enabling believers to understand the gospel and empowering them to respond in faith.
The Holy Spirit is instrumental in the process of salvation as He works through the preaching of the Word, bringing the message of God’s grace to life in the hearts of sinners (1 Peter 1:12). Throughout Scripture, we see that it is by the Spirit's power that individuals are convicted of their sin and drawn to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit not only sanctifies believers but also equips them for service and assures them of their salvation. Understanding the Spirit's role enhances the believer’s recognition of the divine nature of their transformation and the assurance of their standing in Christ.
