What is the
Holy Spirit’s Role?
The Holy Spirit is the sanctifier, who was sent by the Father and Son to complete the work of the Son. He makes “holy.” The Holy Spirit was sent to sanctify the Church forever so that believers might have access to the Father through Christ in one Spirit” (Eph 2: 18).
The Delightful Guest of Your Soul
Once baptized the Holy Spirit is a gift from God and dwells in our souls like a delightful guest.
The Bible tells you of this indwelling of the Holy Spirit:
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.” John 14:23
“Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16
“If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.” Romans 8:9
“Because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.” Romans 5:5
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:11
I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. (John 14:17)
No one has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us. This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit.
