| His personality | Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:24) But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (1 Cor 2:10) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (1 Cor 2:11) |
| His Deity | But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? (Acts 5:3) Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. (Acts 5:4) |
| Contrast between O.T. and N.T. ministry of the Spirit | Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (John 14:17) |
| Blasphemy against the Spirit |
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and
dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. (Mat
12:22) And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? (Mat
12:23) But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. (Mat 12:24) And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: (Mat 12:25) And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? (Mat 12:26) And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. (Mat 12:27) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. (Mat 12:28) Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. (Mat 12:29) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. (Mat 12:30) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. (Mat 12:31) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (Mat 12:32) Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. (Mat 12:33) O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. (Mat 12:34) A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. (Mat 12:35) But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. (Mat 12:36) For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. (Mat 12:37) |
| Indwelling | There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Rom 8:1) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (1 Cor 6:19) |
| Anointing | But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. (1 John 2:20) But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and evenas it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (1 John 2:27) |
| Sealing | And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. (Eph 4:30) |
| Baptism into the body | For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (1 Cor 12:13) |
| Gifts of the Spirit | But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. (1 Cor 12:7) For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; (1 Cor 12:8) To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; (1 Cor 12:9) To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: (1 Cor 12:10) |
| Filling |
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with
the Spirit; (Eph 5:18) |
| Teaching |
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them
now. (John 16:12) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. (John 16:13) He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. (John 16:14) All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of ine, and shall show it unto you. (John 16:15) |
| Fruit of the Spirit |
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:22)Meekness, temperance: against such there is
no law. (Gal 5:23) |
