“Lo, _I am with you alway_, even unto the end of the world.” Matt. 28:20.
See also John 14:21-23.
7. What threefold union is thus established?
“At that day ye shall know that _I am in My Father_, and _ye in Me_, and
_I in you_.” Verse 20.
NOTE.—Rom. 8:9 shows the Spirit of each of the three persons of
the Godhead to be one and the same Spirit.
8. How does Jesus, through the Spirit, seek an entrance to every heart?
“Behold, _I stand at the door, and knock_: if any man hear My voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with
Me.” Rev. 3:20.
9. Why was it necessary for Christ to go away?
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go
away: for _if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you_; but if
I depart, I will send Him unto you.” John 16:7.
10. What was the Comforter to do when He came?
“And when He is come, He will _reprove_ [margin, _convince_] the world of
_sin_, and of _righteousness_, and of _judgment_.” Verse 8.
11. By what other title is the Comforter designated?
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even _the Spirit of truth_, which proceedeth from the Father, He
shall testify of Me.” John 15:26.
12. What did Jesus say the Spirit of truth would do?
“Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, _He will guide you into
all truth_: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall
hear, that shall He speak: and _He will show you things to come_.” John
16:13.
NOTE.—The Spirit _speaks_ (1 Tim. 4:1); _teaches_ (1 Cor. 2:3);
_bears witness_ (Rom. 8:16); _makes intercession_ (Rom. 8:26);
_distributes the gifts_ (1 Cor. 12:11); and _invites the sinner_
(Rev. 22:17).
13. Whom did Christ say the Holy Spirit would glorify?
“He shall glorify _Me_: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall show it
unto you.” Verse 14.
NOTE.—It is plain from these scriptures that the Holy Spirit is
the personal representative of Christ upon the earth, abiding in
the church by dwelling in the hearts of the believers. It follows
that any attempt to make a man the vicegerent of Christ in the
place of the third person of the Godhead is an attempt to put man
in the place of God. Thus does the fundamental principle of the
Papacy set aside the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
14. How has God revealed to us the hidden things of the kingdom?
“But God hath revealed them unto us _by His Spirit_: for the Spirit
searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 1 Cor. 2:10.
15. Who moved upon the prophets to give their messages?
“For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of
God spake as they were moved by the _Holy Ghost_.” 2 Peter 1:21.
16. After Pentecost, how was the gospel preached?
“With the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.” 1 Peter 1:12.
17. How are believers sealed?
