How do we know that the Holy Spirit was promised by God?

Answered in 1 source

The promise of the Holy Spirit is confirmed in both the teachings of Jesus and the prophecies of the Old Testament.

The promise of the Holy Spirit is firmly rooted in Scripture, particularly through Jesus' teachings and Old Testament prophecies. In Acts 1:4, Jesus urges His disciples to wait for the promise of the Father, which serves as confirmation of His previous teachings during the upper room discourse in John 14-16. Moreover, numerous Old Testament prophets, including Joel and Isaiah, spoke of the coming outpouring of the Spirit (Joel 2:28, Isaiah 44:3). This connection establishes a promised relationship, showcasing the continuity of God’s plan for His people, ultimately realized on Pentecost when the disciples received the Holy Spirit to empower their witness.
