Rusty's Notes
How do you know that the Holy Spirit dwells in you?
The Spirit glorifies and testifies of Christ
John 15:26 - 26 “When the Counselor comes, the One I will send to you from the Father —the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.”[1]
John 16:14 - 14 ”He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.”[2]
The Spirit fills us
Ephesians 5:18 - 18 And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled by the Spirit:[3]
Acts 2:4 - 4 Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages, as the Spirit gave them ability for speech.[4]
Acts 4:8 - 8 Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit
Acts 4:31 - 31 When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak God’s message with boldness.[5]
Acts 9:17 -17 So Ananias left and entered the house. Then he placed his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road you were traveling, has sent me so that you can regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”[6]
The Spirit dwells in us
Romans 8:9-11 - 9 You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you. [7]
1 Corinthians 3:16 - 16 Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s sanctuary and that the Spirit of God lives in you?[8]
2 Timothy 1:14 - 14 Guard, through the Holy Spirit who lives in us, that good thing entrusted to you.[9]
John 14:17 - 17 ”He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you.”[10]
The Spirit is the agent by which we are baptized into the body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12:13 - 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.[11]
The Spirit gives us access to God the Father
Ephesians 2:18 - 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.[12]
The Spirit enables us to know that Jesus abides in us
1 John 3:24 - 24 The one who keeps His commands remains in Him, and He in him. And the way we know that He remains in us is from the Spirit He has given us. [13]
1 John 4:13 - 13 This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us: He has given assurance to us from His Spirit.[14]
The Spirit says “Come, Lord Jesus” along with the bride
Revelation 22:17 - 17 Both the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Anyone who hears should say, “Come!” And the one who is thirsty should come. Whoever desires should take the living water as a gift.[15]
- An invitation to the redeemed to participate in the bountiful blessings of God’s new creation.[16]
The Spirit dispenses God’s love into our hearts
Romans 5:5 - 5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. [17]
