The Holy Spirit in the Bible

Confess Jesus’ Lordship and trust Him:

John 16:8-11 

8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 

9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 

10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 

11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

Acts 10:44-48

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 

45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 

46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, 

47 “Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 

48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

1 Corinthians 2:14-16 

14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:

16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:3 

Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:4-6 

4 Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. 

5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 

6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
