How does the Holy Spirit work in salvation according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
The Holy Spirit effectively calls the elect, regenerating them and enabling faith in Christ.
According to the Reformed perspective, the Holy Spirit plays a vital role in the process of salvation. In 1 Corinthians 2:10, Paul states that God has revealed truth to us through the Spirit. This indicates that the Spirit is actively at work in the hearts of individuals, illuminating their understanding of the gospel and drawing them to Christ. Without the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, no one can come to faith, as John 6:44 affirms that no one can come to Jesus unless drawn by the Father. This highlights the dependence on the Holy Spirit for all aspects of salvation, from conviction of sin to faith in Christ.
