Fundamentals Of The FaithPnematology–The Person And Work Of The Holy Spirit–Conclusion

Raymond Pruitt

Ill. The Meaning of Pentecost

Being the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit had been active from eternity as the Person proceeding from the Father and the

Son in applying what had been initiated by the Father and effected by the Son. But He was to be related in a much more intimate and infused

sense with the children of God following the finished work of Christ in providing redemption from sin. Pentecost was the fulfillment of

the promise of God that the Holy Spirit would come to abide in the hearts and lives of God's people.

Before Jesus ascended, He promised the disciples, "Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence" (Acts 1:5).

Pentecost was the fulfillment of the promise of both the Father and the Son. Just as the birth of Jesus was the advent of the Second Person

of the Trinity, Pentecost was the advent of the Third Person of the Trinity. Why Pentecost was absolutely necessary to the divine plan of

redemption will come into focus if we look at it from three perspectives: its doctrinal necessity, its historical necessity, and its personal

necessity.

1. Its doctrinal necessity. Pentecost was essential to the completion of the work of God in redemption. In the covenant of redemption

made between the Persons of the Trinity before the foundation of the world, each Person had a unique responsibility in the work of

redemption. God the Father planned, foreordained, predestined and elected events. In His infinite wisdom, He was elected to determine

certain events and to permit others. He foreknew that He would create man and that he would fall into sin, but He determined that salvation

would be provided for those who would accept it. God the Father, then, is the originator of the plan of redemption. God the Son is the

executor of it. By His incarnation, He took on human flesh and a perfect human nature so that He might obey the perfect law of God, and,

as the perfect Sacrifice, He bore the penalty for man's sin and made atonement for it in His death on the cross. God the Holy Spirit is the

applier of the work of redemption. It is His work to bring men to Christ, and to bring Christ to men by regenerating and. sanctifying them,

and by making real to them the redemption which Christ provided.

The Scriptures are clear that the covenant of redemption was made between the persons of the Trinity in the eternal determinate counsel

of God before the creation of the world (see Matt. 13:35; 25:34; John 17:24; Eph. 1:4-12; 3:11; 2 Tim. 1:9, 10; 1 Pet. 1:19-21; Rev. 13:8).

When Christ completed His work for our salvation by His death, resurrection, and ascension, it was perfect and complete. There is

nothing that can be added that He did not do for our redemption. He paid it all! But it is necessary that the Holy Spirit apply His finished

work of redemption, or we could never be saved. It is the Holy Spirit which is the expression of God's personal presence in the life of the

believer (cf. 1 Cor. 6:19, 20), and it is through Him that we are brought to God through Christ. It is in His fullness that we experience the

presence and the power of God in our lives. But it was essential that Christ finish His work of providing redemption, before the Holy Spirit

could be given to apply that finished work and to dwell in a people made holy by the application of the precious blood.

2. Its historical necessity. Pentecost was necessary to give substance to the advent of the Third Person of the Trinity. The historical

event, witnessed by multitudes, and experienced by the one hundred and twenty, provided a factual foundation which would mark His

coming in a very definite way. Just as the incarnation of Christ, His death, and resurrection, were historical events which occurred at specific

times, so the coming of the Holy Spirit was a historical event. It cannot be denied that God brought about an eventful manifestation of His

eternal purpose when He sent the Holy Ghost to dwell in the lives of His people, as He had never done before in the history of mankind.

It was proof that He desires to dwell personally in our lives, and that He wants to commune with us in a direct and intimate way. If we are

weak and powerless in our personal lives, or if the Church is anemic and ineffective, there is no excuse for it; the Holy Ghost has come

to provide all the power and sufficiency we will ever need, and this is a fact of history, and a present reality.

3. Its personal necessity. Pentecost is essential as a guarantee of God's blessings to each of us individually. Without Him, the good

things of God would still be behind the veil and out of our reach. But with His coming, He makes available to us the treasures of God's

goodness (cf. Luke 11:13 with Matt. 7:11). Power is a gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8; 2 Tim. 1:7); so are the qualities of love, joy, peace,

longsuffering, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (Gal. 5:22, 23); and the charismatic gifts of wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing,

miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, interpretation of tongues, etc. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1:3).In the light of who the Holy Ghost is, and what He

has come to do for us and in us, it is of paramount importance that we be filled with His fullness, If you are not filled with the Spirit, you

can be; indeed, you should be, for it is a command that you "be filled with the Spirit" (Eph. 5:18), and that you "walk in the Spirit" (Gal.

5:16, 25, etc.).

Conclusion:

In this chapter we have seen that the Holy Spirit is not merely a divine influence, power, manifestation, or an agent, but He is very God,

the Third Person of the Godhead. He is pure spirit, having no need for anything material in His being. He has personality and all the

attributes of Deity. It is His special work to bring God's purpose to completion by acting immediately upon and in the creature, and this

work is expressed in the creation, in nature in general, in mankind in general, and particularly in believers in which He makes real the

finished work of Christ on Calvary. He regenerates, sanctifies, and baptizes with His fullness. The baptism of the Spirit is an enduement

of power for victorious living and service, and is imperative for all believers who would be effective in service, and who would glorify

Christ as He should be glorified. We are in the world to glorify Him, but only the Holy Ghost is able to glorify Him in truth; therefore, we

must be filled with the Spirit (cf. 1 Cor. 6:19, 20).

Tips For Abundant LifeCarolyn Guyton

Be Fruitful. What better abundance can we

strive for than bearing beautiful fruit of the

Spirit! I enjoy fresh fruit this time of year,

especially when it is beautiful and at its best

ripeness. Galatians 5:22 tells us that the

first three of the fruit of the Spirit are Love,

Joy and Peace. How do we ensure that the

fruit we bear is attractive to those around us

and will entice them to live a fruitful life

themselves? When we are truly living in

Christ Jesus, the natural result will be these

characteristics flowing from us:

Love. We have nothing if we don’t have

Love, as confirmed by Matthew 22:37-39.

Jesus told us that the greatest commandment

is that we Love Him with all our heart, soul

and mind, and that next we are to Love our

neighbor as ourselves. If we obey His

commandments, the world will see and

know we are His by our Love. Is the Love

your coworkers and family see in you

patient and kind? Does it entertain angels

unaware?

Joy. A person reflecting Joy in this day and

time is pretty obvious. When most people

are carrying difficulties and stress around

with them that keeps them weighed down,

the person who walks around with a big

smile gets noticed! The Word tells us that

the Joy of the Lord is our strength and I

believe that both the Joy and the strength

shine through. Is the Joy of the Lord the

primary emotion you walk in?

Peace. This is one of the most longed-for

states today. With so much unrest in our

world, this beautiful place is incredible!

It’s when we make our petitions known to

God with thanksgiving, rather than

worrying over them, and stand firmly on

His promises, that this peace is revealed

through us. Does your life reflect the peace

that passes all understanding – the only true

peace?

Seek every day for the abundant life that

only comes from God.

Guest Speaker:

General Overseer Sam Clements and

Linda Clements

We are excited to announce that the 2015

Alabama State Convention theme is

“EMPOWERED.” In these present times

we must be EMPOWERED by the Holy

Spirit. We can only be EMPOWERED if

we are connected to Jesus Christ, as He said

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that

abideth in me, and I in him, the same

bringeth forth much fruit” (John 15:5a

KJV) During this State Convention, it is our

passion to connect with Christ and be

EMPOWERED for service so that we bear

much fruit.
