What does the Bible say about the Holy Spirit's coming?

The Holy Spirit's descent is intrinsically linked to Jesus' glorification. John 7:39 states, 'The Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.' This highlights that the outpouring of the Spirit was dependent on Christ's redemptive work and His ascension. Following His resurrection, the Holy Spirit was sent to empower and sanctify believers, marking the beginning of a new phase in God's redemptive plan. It fulfilled the promise made by the Father to baptize the Church with the Spirit, equipping them for ministry and enabling them to fulfill the Great Commission.
