How does the Holy Spirit help us?
The Holy Spirit
convicts us of our sin, comforts us, guides us, gives us spiritual gifts and
the desire to obey God; and he enables us to pray and to understand God's Word.
‘EFESO
6:17-18
Pea mou ma‘u ‘a e

EPHESIANS
6:17-18
And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the
Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all
perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.
Commentary - LEO SCHUSTER (cont…)
Not
only does he give us life, but he also fills our life. When we
become
Christians, God the Father adopts us as his children and gives to us his Spirit
of adoption. He comes to live in us and fill us, and in doing so he guides us
as a counsellor would - supporting, convicting us of our sin, strengthening us
in Christ, encouraging us in the way we should live, helping us to pray, and
even praying for us when we're too weak to do so ourselves. In all this, he
grows us in Christlikeness, enabling us to do good works, which God has prepared
in advane for us to do. And he gives us specific gifts to use to contribute to
the building up of the body of Christ, and to love, serve, and obey God.
