The Holy Spirit came into the world on the day of Pentecost to glorify Christ and enable men and women to appropriate salvation won for us by Jesus Christ and to be witnesses. The Holy Spirit is the primary agent for the conviction of sin and imparts new life into the believer by permanently indwelling him. The Holy Spirit fills, directs those believers who are yielded to him; enables him to live a life free from sin’s dominion.
The Holy Spirit also gives spiritual gifts to the believers for the purpose of edifying himself and others in accordance with the teaching of scripture.
