Passage: John 4:15-24
Service Type:

The Holy Spirit

 

John 4:15  The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

16  Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17  The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

18  For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

19  The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

 

The Holy Spirit

Introduction: God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit are all equal

The Holy Spirit is the third part of the Trinity.

 

  1. God 

Ps 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

 

  1.  Jesus  

John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

John 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

 

III.   Holy Spirit 

Acts 5:3  But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

IV .  God is God, Christ is God. Holy Spirit is God

God is a trinity and he created man in a triune

1 Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

V.  When Adam and Eve sinned, the spirit died

 

Man became dualistic that is why a man has to be born again in the part where he is dead in his spirit

 

John 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

 

Eph 2:1   And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

VI.  A saved person is made alive in his spirit by the Spirit of God.

Ro 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

 

Conclusion: Saved people are baptized once by the Spirit, but filled many times. There is no command to be baptized with the Holy Spirit this happens at salvation.
