From beginning to end, the Holy Spirit is active in our salvation and Christian walk. Here are 5 things He does: 1. Regeneration (Jn. 3:5). 2. Conviction (Jn. 16:8). 3. Sealing (Eph 1:13). 4. Sanctification (2 Thess 2:13). 5. Guidance (John 16:13).
God prepares men to acknowledge his power in the mercies he bestows by making them sensible of their weakness and helplessness.
"Do not throw cold water upon young desires: do not snuff out young believers with hard questions. When they are babes and need the milk of the Word, do not be choking them with your strong meat[…]" - Charles Spurgeon
