What The Bible Says About The Holy Spirit

Forlagets omtale:
Here is an important and comprehensive account of the teaching found in both Old and New Testaments about the Holy Spirit. The author writes: What can the Holy Spirit do for the people outside the church? First of all, Jesus says quite bluntly in John 14:16 that they cannot receive the Holy Spirit. They cannot have him, they cannot be indwelt by him, they cannot have this Comforter. They cannot have this strengthening. They cannot have this fortress experience. It is as simple as that. The tragedy is that these people, when they come to the crisis, when they find themselves in the battle, when they find themselves in the heat of it, they must face that alone without the blessed Comforter to stand by them. That draws out our compassion and our pity - to live without the Holy Spirit must be miserable. But what can he do for them? John 16:8 is the key verse now: "When he comes he will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment. Of sin because they do not believe in me, of righteousness because I go to the Father and you will see me no more, of judgment because the ruler of this world is judged."310 pages
