WHY THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME

 

 

Speaker: Pastor Henry Tobin-West

The major reason why the Holy Spirit came is to give life. The Holy Spirit was actively involved in creation (genesis 1:1-3) (john1:1-4). The spirit of God is the life-giving spirit (2corinthians 3:5-6). The Holy Spirit came also to renew both the heavens and the earth (job 26:13) (psalm 104:30). He is the renewer of the lives of men. The Holy Spirit was sent forth to form the creatures of the earth (job 26:13) He gave them their attributes and also directs them. (Psalm 104:26-30).

The Holy Spirit gave life to us humans (job 33:4) (genesis 2:7) (job 27:3). He is the one who gave us our personality traits and features (psalm 139:14). He made us distinct and unique in our features. The Holy Spirit came to give us the word of God for direction, as food for our spirits and as an order of life. (Ephesians 6:17). The word of God is the sword of the spirit. He came to be the force, power and life behind the word of God (john 6:63). The Holy Spirit made salvation possible (john 16:8). He brings revival to the circumstances of men (Isaiah 32:15). He came to free us from sin, disease and death (Romans 8:1-2). The spirit of life passed unto all men from Christ. The Holy Spirit is the life of God dwelling in every believer (john 14:17).

It is vital to acknowledge the Holy Spirit of God brought Jesus to life on earth (Matthew 1:18-20) (Luke 1:35) as thus can make alive our aspirations and dead situations. He came to set the captives free and break yolks and burdens of men (Isaiah 10:27). He is the spirit of revelation (1corinthians 2:10-13). He came to help our weaknesses in prayers (Romans 8:26-27). The Holy Spirit came so we might have dreams and visions giving us purpose in life (Joel 2:28-30).
