Fundamentals Of The FaithPneumatology—The Person And Work Of The Holy Spirit—Part II
Raymond Pruitt
II. The Work of the Holy Spirit
The work of the Spirit may be summed up under the following headings: His work in the creation and preservation of the universe; His
work among men in general; His work in relation to the Scriptures; His work in relation to Jesus Christ; His work in the believer. In general
it may be said that it is the special task of the Holy Spirit to bring God's purpose to completion by acting immediately upon and in the
creature. Just as He Himself is the Person who completes the Trinity, so His unique opera ad extra activity is to bring to completion God's
purpose in His creatures and in the finishing of God's work in every sphere. His work follows the work of the Son, just as the work of the
Son follows that of the Father. This is a point which should never be forgotten, for if the work of the Spirit is divorced from that of the Son,
distortions and excesses arise which corrupt the scriptural teaching regarding His nature and work. Jesus said of Him, "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 shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that
the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:13-15).
1 His work in the creation and preservation of the universe.
a The generation of life is mediated by the Holy Ghost (Gen. 1:3; Job 26:13; Psa. 104:30; 33:6). The Trinity is credited with the
creation in Psalm 33:6: "By the word (the Son) of the Lord (the Father) were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath
(the Spirit) of his mouth." It may be said that the Father created all things through the agency of the Word and the Spirit. The role of the
Spirit is prominent in the creation (Gen. 1:2), as He puts the finishing touch to everything initiated in the creation.
b His work in the preservation of nature and the continuation of its cycles. "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because
the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it" (Isa. 40:7). He is in the fading colors of autumn, the fierce blast of winter, the regeneration of life
in the springtime, and in the warm breezes of the summer.
2. His work among men in general.
a. He reproves the world. If His primary work to believers is that of teacher and interpreter, He is the accuser to the world. "And
when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of
righteousness, because go to my Father, and me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged" (John 16:8-11).
b. He bears a constant witness of Christ and His finished work on Calvary to the world of unregenerate mankind. The
Spirit of truth he shall testify of me" (John 15:26). "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost" (Acts 5:3 lie
inspires and qualifies men for their work in government, science, art, etc. (Ex. 28:3; 31:2-6; 35:35; 1 Sam. 11:6, 7; 16:13, 14). This is true
in the sense that God is the Source of every good thing. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from. above, and cometh down from the
Father of lights" (James 1:17). God is not, however, responsible for the evil things men do in these areas. Satan leads wicked men to misuse
their talents.
3. His work in relation to the Scriptures.
a. He is the Author of the Scriptures. "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Pet. 1:21). "All scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16), which is to say, by the
inbreathing of God (Theopneustos)."Hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches," (Rev. 2 and 3).
b. He is the Interpreter of the Scriptures. He is ". . . the Spirit of wisdom and revelation . . ." (Eph. 1:17; see also 1Cor. 2:10).
"He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:14).
4. His work in relation to Jesus Christ.
a. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost. "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee' therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of
God" (Luke 1:35).
b. He was anointed by the Holy Ghost. "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about
doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him" (Acts 10:38).
c. He offered Himself through the Spirit in the crucifixion. "Who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to
God" (Heb. 9:14).
d. He was resurrected through the power of the Spirit. "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit
of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead" (Rom. 1:4); "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he
that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you" (Rom. 8:11).
e. He gave commandments to His disciples and the church through the Holy Spirit. ". . . after that he through the Holy Ghost
had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen" (Acts 1:2).
f. The Holy Ghost bears witness of Christ. "He shall testify of me" (John 1526); "He shall not speak of himself
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you" (John 16:13, 14).
5. His work in the believer. It is the work of the Spirit to make effective in the hearts and lives of believers all that Christ has
accomplished in His death, resurrection, ascension, and session at the right hand of the Father.
a. The Holy Spirit regenerates. "Born . . . of the Spirit" (John 3:3-5); ". . . by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the
Holy Ghost" (Tit. 3:5); "It is the spirit that quickeneth" (John 6:63). "Just as Jesus was begotten of the Holy Ghost, so must every child
of God who is to be an heir to the kingdom."
b. The Spirit seals the believer with the assurance of salvation. "In whom also after that ye believed, ye were
sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance" (Eph. 1:13, 14); ". . . the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye
are sealed unto the day of redemption" (Eph. 4:30). The seal of the Holy Spirit stands for ownership and for likeness. It means that we
belong to Christ, having been adopted by Him, and that we are conformed to His image (cf. 2 Tim. 2:19-21). After effecting the new birth
in the believer, the Holy Ghost confirms it with His assurance in our hearts.
c. The Holy Ghost is also the Sanctifier. As He is the Regenerator, so also, He is the Sanctifier". . . being sanctified by the Holy
Ghost" (Rom. 15:16); ". . . ye are washed . . . ye are sanctified . . - by the Spirit of our God" (1 Cor. 6:11); ". . . through sanctification of
the Spirit and belief of the truth" (2 Thess. 2:13); ". . . through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of
Jesus Christ" (1 Pet. 1:2).
As Regenerator and Sanctifier, the Holy Ghost works within the heart and life of the believer. He is not out there somewhere
applying the finished work of Christ in us by remote control, but is within us, at the heart of our need. And unless the Spirit has worked
in us in that sense, we are not saved or sanctified, for this is exclusively the office work of the Spirit. It was regarding this aspect of His
nature that Paul wrote in Romans 8:9, "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his".
Furthermore, the Holy Spirit regenerates and sanctifies not as an end, but that He might go on to make our hearts His dwelling
place by baptizing us with His fullness. The end of sanctification is that God the Holy Spirit might dwell within the tabernacle of our being.
Sanctification is the essential preparation necessary before He can come in to dwell as Companion and Paraclete. When viewed from this
perspective, one might think of sanctification as a negative, as well as a positive, work. John MacNeil explains:
Another mistake to be carefully guarded against is this, making "cleansing" to be an end instead of a means to an end. "Cleansing"
is not the blessing that we are seeking; it is only a means. The end is the "Filling of the Holy Ghost." "Cleansing" is a negative blessing,
the separating from sin, but we can only be satisfied with a positive blessing. When the housewife cleans the house, does she then go out
and live in the yard? Not so. She cleans the house that it may be more fit for her to inhabit. God cleanses, "empties, sweeps, and garnishes"
(Matt. 12:44), that He may come in to dwell; and if He, the Holy One, does come and take up His abode, He will keep His dwelling place
"clean."
d. The fullness of the Spirit. The filling of the Spirit, or the baptism of the Spirit, as we have seen, is an experience beyond regeneration
and sanctification. It was not until after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ that the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the saints. (We
will deal more with the meaning of Pentecost a little later on in this study.) He came as the promised Comforter (Helper, Companion) which
Jesus said He would send, but He could not come before Christ had completed His work and returned to the Father. "It is expedient for
you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you" (John16:7).
When the Holy Spirit fills a person with His fullness, He makes the work of God real in him through His ministry of enlightening,
guiding, empowering, cleansing, anointing and teaching. The word which is translated Comforter is "Parakleetos", which means "Helper,"
"Companion". Whatever it is the Spirit-filled believer needs, he has it in the Person of the Holy Spirit (cf. John 14:16,17, 26; 15:26;
16:7.15).
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a stage of salvation that was accomplished in regeneration and sanctification but an
enduement of power for service, and equipping, and an enablement for serving the Lord and for living an abundant life in Christ. This does
not mean that the baptism of the Spirit is optional a good thing to have, but not essential to salvation. On the contrary, it is a command to
be obeyed, being fundamental to the Christian life and service. As urgent as it was that the Great Commission should be fulfilled, Jesus
told the disciples to first "tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Before He was
ascended, He told the disciples, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you" (Acts 1:8). The leaders of the
early Church were insistent that the Christians be filled with the Spirit. For example, note Paul's command to the Ephesians: "Be filled with
the Spirit" (Eph. 5:18).
We are here on earth that through us Christ may be glorified; but there is only one Person that can glorify Christ, and that is the
Holy Ghost. "He shall glorify me" (John 16:14). To the glorifying of Christ as He ought to be and might be glorified, the filling with the
Spirit is necessary.
The Holy Ghost gives the Christian constant and victory over sin. While he is still in the flesh, he does not have to be under the
power of the flesh, but can walk in the Spirit 8:12, 13; Gal. 5:16, 26). One cannot walk in the Spirit truest sense until he is filled with the
Spirit. In this we are again reminded of the Spirit's work of bringing to completion that which God has initiated in His creatures. Without
the fullness of the Spirit, the believer is living on the wrong side of Pentecost.
A careful study of seventh and eighth chapters of Romans will show a remarkable change in the life of the Spirit-filled believer
as contrasted to the one who has not yet been sanctified and filled with the Spirit. The eighth chapter speaks of the triumphant life of the
believer; the seventh chapter portrays a constant conflict between the fleshly nature and the nature of Christ. The difference lies in the
sanctifying power of Christ wrought by the Holy Ghost 290 (cf. Rom. 7:24, 25 and 8:2), and the fullness of the Spirit, which is assumed
in the eighth chapter of Romans (cf. 8:1, 4, 5, 9, 11, 13,14, 26, 27). The contrast between the Spirit-filled life and one which is still being
lived in the flesh is seen in the comparison of Romans7:25 with 8:31-39. The one is in bondage and oppressed; the other rejoices in the
Lord and in the thrilling assurance of His love.

Tips For Abundant LifeCarolyn Guyton
Be the church. I have been watching the
television series, A.D. The Bible Continues.
I’ve read the Word and heard it preached
all my life, but it is amazing how watching
this portrayal makes it so real. We are all
aware that the church is not the building
where we attend services, but it us.
Realizing that we are seeing prophecy being
fulfilled all around us, we know we must
step up and be the last days’ church. I
would like to share what has become so real
to me.
Extreme Faith. This series has made me
aware of the incredible amount of faith
Jesus’ disciples had to be able to stand up
for Him after He ascended. It’s easy for me
to read about Him and trust that the Bible is
true and by faith share with others. But
these people physically walked with Him
and looked at Him and touched Him.
Although they believed what He told them,
and personally experienced seeing Him die
and then seeing Him alive again, He had
been a human like them. As with the early
church, we must have extreme faith in order
to stand up for Him in these last days.
Experience Holy Spirit. One of the high
points of this series for me is when the Holy
Ghost fell on them in the upper room. They
were gathered together praying and seeking
God, none of them truly understanding this
new thing that was about to happen, but yet
completely open to it. It was only after this
experience that they could effectively go out
and reach others. We must gather together
and seek for, and willingly accept and
receive, the new things of Holy Spirit. Just
as that was a new day, so is this. I don’t
believe what we have experienced in the
past is going to take us through.
Go. The boldness and enthusiasm of the
early church was amazing. I was thrilled to
see this presented in A.D., to see the
determination on their faces. This kind of
boldness and determination comes only
through extreme faith and experiencing the
power of Holy Spirit. Going was their
entire purpose in life. It is what they lived
to do. We must get to the point today that
we accept that our purpose in life is to share
and bring glory to God. This is the reason
we are here.
Seek every day for the abundant life that
only comes from God.
