How do we know the Holy Spirit was given after Jesus' glorification?
Answered in 1 source
The Scriptures say the Holy Spirit was not yet given until after Jesus was glorified, connecting His glorification with the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost.
In John 7:39, it is stated that the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified. This indicates the link between Christ's glorification through His death and resurrection and the subsequent giving of the Holy Spirit to believers at Pentecost. The glorification of Christ is essential for the Holy Spirit's work in enabling believers to experience the fullness of life in Him. Prior to Christ's completion of His redemptive work, the full revelation and operation of the Spirit in the lives of all believers was still to unfold, emphasizing the significance of Christ's sacrificial act.
