The Holy Spirit is perhaps the least
understood, and least acknowledged, member of the Trinity, but his work
in the gospel is indispensable. In this new booklet from the Gospel
Coalition, Kevin DeYoung looks to Scripture to outline fundamental
doctrine about the personhood and work of the Holy Spirit.
DeYoung
describes the Holy Spirit as our ultimate gift. Jesus promised his
followers that a “helper” would be given to them. It is through this
helper that we actively experience the power and presence of God. In
this booklet DeYoung notes the activity of the Holy Spirit in our lives,
including his role in conviction, conversion, glorification, and the
imparting of spiritual gifts.
The Holy Spirit offers a
thoughtful explanation for point 9 of the Gospel Coalition’s
confessional statement. The Gospel Coalition is an evangelical renewal
movement dedicated to a scripture-based reformation of ministry
practices.
