Reasons why JESUS didnt stayed on earth : 1. It is essential for Him to go so He can send the Holy Spirit, 「But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.」 John 16:7
The work of the Holy Spirit: -He ministers to us after salvation accepting Jesus as Lord and saviour -He convicts of our sins 「When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment-John 16:8
-He convinces (guides)in all truth 「But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.」 John 16:13 NIV -He will glorify Jesus -John 16:14 「He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.」 John 16:14 NIV
-He dwell within the believers (we are the temple of the Holy Spirit) 「Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;」 1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV
The personality of the Holy Spirit: A. He has emotion 「And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.」 Ephesians 4:30 NIV
B. He has a will 「All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.」 1 Corinthians 12:11 NIV
C. He is eternal 「How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!」 Hebrews 9:14 NIV
D. He is our prayer partner 「In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.」 Romans 8:26-27 NIV
2.The Holy Spirit will empower us to live a Godly life 「But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”」 Acts 1:8 NIV
Conclusion: -Without the Holy Spirit it is impossible to live the Christian life -He is not only important but essential -Jesus saves us from our past but the Holy Spirit empowers us to live a godly life -Be closed to the Holy Spirit
