How does the Old Testament relate to the work of the Holy Spirit?
Answered in 1 source
The Old Testament reveals the active presence of the Holy Spirit, seen in God's guidance and empowerment of His people.
The presence of the Holy Spirit is not confined to the New Testament; rather, Scripture shows His active involvement in the Old Testament. The sermon references Exodus 14 to illustrate how the 'angel of God,' identified as the Spirit, guided the Israelites out of Egypt. This underscores that the Holy Spirit has always been involved in leading God's people, as demonstrated in various instances where He empowered leaders and prompted the writing of Scripture. David, for instance, speaks of the Holy Spirit in Psalm 51, requesting not to be taken from him. This reflects the unchanging nature of God's Spirit, who continues to guide, empower, and sanctify believers today.
