1. Indwells
Holy Spirit
1 Cor.
The Word
Col. 3:16 (NKJV) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all
wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
2. Convicts Converts
Holy Spirit
John 16:7-8
(NKJV) [8] And
when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and
of judgment: . . .
The Word
Psalm 19:7 (NKJV) The law
of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making
wise the simple;
Titus 1:9
(NKJV) holding fast the
faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound
doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who
contradict.
Hebrews
3. Begets
Holy Spirit
John 3:6-8 (NKJV) That which is born
of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Do not
marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
[8] The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but
cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born
of the Spirit."
Galatians 4:29
(NKJV) But, as he who was born according
to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so
it is now.
The Word
1 Cor.
James
1 Peter 1:22-25
(NKJV) [23] having been born again, not of
corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and
abides forever, . . . this is the
word which by the gospel was preached to you.
Washes
Holy Spirit
1 Cor.

Peter
The Word
John 15:3 (NKJV) You are already clean
because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Ephes.
Reconciles
Holy Spirit
Ephes. 2:16-18 (NKJV) and that He might reconcile them
both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
[17] And He came and preached peace to
you who were afar off and to those who were near. [18] For through Him we both
have access by one Spirit to
the Father.
The Word
2 Cor. 5:17-20 (NKJV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have
passed away; behold, all things have become new. [18] Now all things are of
God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus
Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, [19] that is,
that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself,
not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word
of reconciliation. [20] Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as
though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be
reconciled to God.
Gives Life
Holy Spirit
John 6:63 (NKJV) It is the Spirit
who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you
are spirit, and they are life.
The Word
Psalm
119:50 (NKJV) This
is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.
Psalm
119:93 (NKJV) I
will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have given me
life.
John
6:68 (NKJV) But
Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
Saves
Holy Spirit
Titus
3:5-7 (NKJV) not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He
saved us, through the washing of regeneration and
renewing of the Holy Spirit, [6] whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, [7]
that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the
hope of eternal life.
The Word
Romans
1 Cor. 15:1-3 (NKJV)
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I
preached to you, which also you received and in which you
stand, [2] by which also you are saved, if
you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.
[3] For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ
died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
James
1:21-22 (NKJV) Therefore lay aside all
filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. [22]
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
yourselves.
Justifies
Holy Spirit
1 Cor.
The Word
Romans
1:16-17 (NKJV) For
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to
salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
[17] For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it
is written, "The just shall live by faith."
Romans
5:1 (NKJV) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ,
Romans
Sanctifies
Holy Spirit
Romans
The Word
John
2 Thes. 2:13-14 (NKJV) But we are bound to give thanks to God
always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning
chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and
belief in the truth, [14] to which He called
you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Comforts
Holy Spirit
Acts
The Word
Romans
15:4 (NKJV) For
whatever things were written before were written for our
learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the
Scriptures might have hope.
1 Thes.
Guides
Holy Spirit
John
16:13 (NKJV) However, when He, the
Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all
truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but
whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
Romans
The Word
Psalm
119:11 (NKJV) Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You!
Psalm
119:105 (NKJV) Your word is a lamp to my
feet And a light to my path.
2 Tim.
3:16-4:4 (NKJV) All Scripture is given
by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, [17]
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for
every good work. [4:1] I
charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the
living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: [2] Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and
teaching. [3] For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will
heap up for themselves teachers; [4] and they will turn their ears away from
the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
Instructs
Holy Spirit
Neh.
John
14:26 (NKJV) But the Helper, the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance
all things that I said to you.
The Word
John
6:44-45 (NKJV) No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise
him up at the last day. [45] It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone
who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
2 Tim
3:16-4:4
Sheds Love
Holy Spirit
Romans
5:5 (NKJV) Now
hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured
out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
The Word
1 John 2:3-5 (NKJV) Now by this we know
that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. [4] He who says,
"I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the
truth is not in him. [5] But whoever keeps His word, truly the love
of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.
1 John
1 John
1 John 5:3
(NKJV) For this
is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His
commandments are not burdensome.
Bears Witness
Holy Spirit
John
Romans 8:16-17
(NKJV) The Spirit Himself bears
witness with our spirit that we are children of God, [17] and if children,
then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with
Him, that we may also be glorified together.
The Word
John
Produces Faith
Holy Spirit
1 Cor. 12:3 (NKJV) Therefore I make known to you that no
one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no
one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
The Word
Romans
10:11-17 (NKJV) [14] How then shall
they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in
Him of whom they have not heard? And
how shall they hear without a preacher? [15] And how shall they preach unless
they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who
preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of
good things!" 16] But they have not
all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has
believed our report?" [17] So then faith comes by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Wisdom
Holy Spirit
John
16:7 (NKJV)
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I
go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I
depart, I will send Him to you.
John
16:13 (NKJV) However, when He, the
Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not
speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will
tell you things to come.
Ephes. 5:18-19 (NKJV) And do not be drunk with wine, in
which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, [19] speaking to one
another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in
your heart to the Lord,
The Word
Col.
1:5-23;
Col.
1:5 (NKJV) because of the hope which is
laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth
of the gospel,
Col.
1:9-10 (NKJV) For this reason we also,
since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you
may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual
understanding; [10] that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him,
being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
2 Tim.
3:14-15 (NKJV) But you must continue in
the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you
have learned them, [15] and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to
make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
