Why is the role of the Holy Spirit important in ministry?
Answered in 1 source
The Holy Spirit is essential in ministry as He empowers and guides believers, ensuring the truth of the Gospel is effectively communicated.
The ministry of Paul and Barnabas, as mentioned in Acts 14, was characterized by reliance on the Holy Spirit. The success of their ministry was attributed to being sent out by the Spirit with divine authority. Without the Holy Spirit, there can be no genuine ministry, as He is the one who opens hearts to receive the gospel, confirms believers in their faith, and provides the necessary power to preach effectively. The Spirit bears witness to the truth, ensuring that the message of Christ is communicated with clarity and conviction, enabling believers to grow deeper in their faith.
