Part in His Conversion The preach
or said In part
Sunday night We wer. told that
one mus, first have knowledge
they are sinner, also must know
that Christ will save. The next s,ep
must be repentance and lastly one
must exercise faith; this is our part
In the plan OF redemption
Now we come to talk abont the
question from Gods standpoint
What part has the Holy Spirit
First, we must consider the per
sonalty OF the Holy Spirit Jesus re-
ferred to IL as person. The Holy
Spirit is person just as Christ is a
person and is one OF the three that
make up the triune God. The Holy
Spirit brooded upon the face of the
waters at creation. He has always
been here. We dishonor the Holy
Spirit when we refuse 70 think OF
How the Holy Spirit Works. There
is false idea that the Holy Spirit
works through the word Of God
alone and enters the heart OF man
In company with the word only The
truth is. the Holy Spirit is at both
ends of the line. The Holy Spirit is
in the heart OF the one who speaks
and in the heart OF the one spoken
to, and uses the word as a sword to
accomplish Gods purpose. Christ is
in glory and has sent the Holy Spirit
to be in the hearts ofs men and His
power is not limited to the spoken
word for the work OF conviction is
often accomplished before the word
is spoken. Paul is an example of this.

was impressed to go and speak to
ship owner and as he went met Il
man coming to him-the direct VOL
Of the Spirit in response to the pra.
ers OF the people at the chapel. Go

God can convict men. Let US not linn

in God and faith in the power OF the
Spirit TO lay hold upon the hearts OF
men.
What is the work of the Holy
Spirit?
First. it is to enlighten the un-
derstandings. NO man can know the
things of God except by the spirit oil
God and no one can see Jesus as
the Christ except by the Spirit.
Another work of the spirit is to con

Spirit il to regenerate. We have moth

generates then man is new crea-
