To avoid division, it is vital that Christians look to Scripture to seek to understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant. If we are going to live God-pleasing, Christian lives, we must understand which aspects of the ministry of the Spirit are intended for believers today. We must carefully examine the Scriptures to develop a biblical theology of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. When we do this, we will be able to not only understand but benefit from the New Covenant ministry of the Holy Spirit. |

Overview:
The work of the Holy Spirit is an important topic for Christians today. It is also one that is not short on controversy and confusion. Believers are divided on issues such as:
- How the Old Covenant ministry of the Spirit relates to the New.
- How we should interpret the book of Acts.
- Whether the miraculous spiritual gifts are for today.
- What it means to live a Spirit-filled life, and much more.
