The Holy Spirit in the Bible

To unite believers in Christ as the participants of His body and His Kingdom:

Titus 3:4-7 

4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 

5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 

6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 

7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

To assure of believer’s states and benefits and God’s children:

Romans 8:12-17 

12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. 

13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, 

14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 

15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 

16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 

17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

2 Corinthians 1:22 

set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

Galatians 4:6 

Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”

Ephesians 1:3 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

1 John 3:24 

Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

1 John 4:13 

We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

1 John 5:7-8 

7 For there are three that testify: 

8 the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
