This teaching on the Holy Spirit that Christ has embarked on with His disciples forms the basis and foundational understanding of the Spirit’s work. Much is done in the name of the Holy Spirit today as it has in the past. The bottom-line is that the Holy Spirit came to lead His Church in Truth – truth we have today in the inspired text of Scripture; and He came to bring glory to Jesus Christ. These form the best criteria for discerning the Spirit’s presence.
A. When there is a love for the Truth as found in the Scriptures, you can be sure the Spirit is at work.
B. When Christ is revealed and preeminent in the hearts and minds of His Church, the Spirit is at work.
