How do we know the ministry of the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Holy Spirit's ministry is essential for salvation as He applies the work of Christ, leading to regeneration and the new birth in believers.

The role of the Holy Spirit in the salvation process is paramount, as articulated in the sermon. Following the accomplishment of redemption by Christ, the Holy Spirit is sent to apply this work to the hearts of sinners. The Spirit's coming on the day of Pentecost signifies the beginning of the new covenant, where He effectively regenerates believers, causing them to be born again. Scripture affirms this in Acts 2:41, where the Spirit was instrumental in the conversion of many on that day. Thus, without the Holy Spirit, the application of Christ's redemptive work cannot occur, confirming His essential role in the salvation of the elect.
