What does the Bible say about the work of the Holy Spirit?
Answered in 13 sources
The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and His work includes testifying to the deity of Christ and revealing the gospel of grace.
The work of the Holy Spirit, as described in scripture, is vital for the believer's understanding of God and the gospel. He is the third person of the Trinity, making His presence and work just as crucial as that of the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit bears witness of the truth concerning Jesus Christ, affirming His deity and role as the Savior. As noted in 1 John 5:7, 'There are three that bear record in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.' This underscores the unity of the Trinitarian witness to the redemptive work of Christ, which is foundational to the gospel.
