4.The Holy Spirit Convicts
If you were to ask a nonbeliever whether they feel “convicted” when they do things they know they should not do, or whether they have a “conscience” or not, chances are they will say yes. This happens because they do have a conscience, they do get convicted, but it is not by a conscience conviction is still by the Spirit of God. This nonbelieving world may not know the Holy Spirit, but that does not mean it does not still work in their lives. Part of the mission of the Holy Spirit’s purpose here on earth is to convict the world of sin, prove the world of God’s pure and perfect righteousness, and warn of impending Judgement.(John 16:8)
5.The Holy Spirit Endows Believers To Do Great Things
When Jesus said in John 14:12, “I tell you the truth, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”, it was through the power of the Holy Spirit that he planned for the apostles to accomplish them. Just as the 12 were given the ability to do great exploits through the power of the Holy Spirit and as we also go out into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth, the Holy Spirit will also give the ability to do the same.
