HOLY SPIRIT 3: WORK IN THE CHURCH (4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Holy Spirit
a) Who is the Holy Spirit or what is the Holy Spirit? Is it a force, an energy, a power, or is He a person? We can find out by reading the Bible.
Ephesians 1:13-14
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.”

2 Peter 1:20-21
“First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”
John 16:8
“When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment.”
