Facts about Holy Spirit - 4

Strengthens inner man:

Ephesians 3:16 

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

Gives life:

2 Corinthians 3:6 

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.

He is received by faith, and not by works:

Galatians 2:1-5 

1 Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, this time with Barnabas. I took Titus along also. 

2 I went in response to a revelation and set before them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. But I did this privately to those who seemed to be leaders, for fear that I was running or had run my race in vain. 

3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. 

4 This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves. 

5 We did not give in to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

Galatians 2:14 

When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?

Is the source of hope:

Galatians 5:5 

But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope.
Imparts character of God:

Galatians 5:22 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
He will reprove the world:

John 16:7-11 

7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 

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.
