Title: 1. The Holy Spirit work, 2. The Holy Spirit and security of salvation.
Text: John 16 vs 5-15, Romans 8
1. We continued on our Holy Spirit identity and work in the light of the gospel.
2. The Holy Spirit is God and is in some places called the Spirit of God or the Spirit of Christ.
3. He is not an "it" like some electromagnetic force. He is full deity.
4. Just like God the Father and Son, He also participated and participates in the salvation of God's people.
5. God has revealed Himself as the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but the Son being the center of that revelation. It is through the Son that we know God to be the Father and also to be our Father. But this truth does not come to a sinner apart from the Holy Spirit.
6. The Holy Spirit is the One who causes the elect to confess the truth as it is in Christ and testifies of those things that were freely given us by God in Christ.
7. But He wears many hats in this business. He has been given also as the seal, down payment /guarantee of the final redemption of the body of the redeemed. And this speaking to the eternal security of the redeemed, that they can't be unsealed and be lost to sin or anything.
8. The final redemption is not for the removal of sin guilt, but of the removal of the body of sin through the resurrection (glorification).
