What is the Holy Spirit?
-the begetting agent that comes from God, the Holy Spirit is the earnest or
down payment, of our salvation (Ephesians 1:14; Romans 8:16).
14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of
the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
What does the Holy Spirit do?
27And I will put (my spirit) within you, and (cause you to walk) in (my statutes),
and ye shall (keep my judgments, and do them).
16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
The Holy Spirit is described as our Helper, Comforter, Paraclete.
How do we access this help? How do we become comforted?
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children:
how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
