What does the Bible say about the Holy Spirit and faith?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is received through the hearing of faith, not by works of the law.

Scripture emphasizes that the reception of the Holy Spirit comes by the hearing of faith, as illustrated in Galatians 3:2. The Holy Spirit, who signifies grace and salvation, is imparted to believers through the preaching of the gospel rather than through adherence to the law. Peter asserts in Acts 10:44-45 that the Spirit fell upon those who heard the message of Christ, confirming that faith, rather than works, is the means of receiving God's profound gift of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the initial experience of grace and conversion is enveloped in the work of the Holy Spirit alone, emphasizing the necessity of faith in Christ for salvation.
