The Holy Spirit (Lesson - 4)

What Is The Role Of The Holy Spirit In My Life?

In the next four lessons we will be talking about the Holy Spirit and the role He plays in our lives.

The first thing we need to do is answer the question, "Who or what is the Holy Spirit?" You need to go to the section of the book titled, The Articles of Faith. There are three topics you need to look at: The Triune God (Page 26), The Holy Spirit (Page 27), and Entire Sanctification (Page 30). They include many scripture references that are very helpful. Do not let them overwhelm you. They are given for your information to read and study at your leisure. You may not be able to cover all of them this week.

Who is the Holy Spirit? Let's take a look at Matthew 3:16-17. This portion of scripture shows us a clear picture of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When we speak of the Holy Spirit we are talking about God Himself. To gain a clearer understanding of the Holy Spirit, read each statement below and study the scripture references.

1. He convicted you of your sin, drawing you to Jesus Christ and repentance. (John 16:5-11)

2. He came into your heart when you got saved and lives within you. (Romans 8:9-11; Revelation 3:19-20)

3. He guides you by His still small voice within you. (John 14:23-26; John 16:13-14)

In closing, pray this prayer: "Dear Lord, I just want to ask You to help me. I will be spending the next three lessons studying the topic of the Holy Spirit and I need Your help in understanding this truth. Help me in my everyday struggle as a Christian, for I cannot make it on my own. I love You, Lord, and believe that You are with me and helping me every moment of every day. Amen."
