“If I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but
if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has

Through the Word of God
“Sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.” Eph. 6:17
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart.”
Heb. 4:12
4.
The function of the Holy Spirit in the scheme of
human redemption is to reveal the will of God to the
mind of man.
Matt. 7:21
Heb. 5:8-9
4.
The only way God reveals His will in this Christian
age is through the Holy Spirit.
“…But God has revealed them to us
through His Spirit”
1 Cor. 2:10
5.
It is rejecting or refusing to acknowledge and
obey the revelation given by the Holy Spirit.
 Blaspheme - speak against, reject
 Refusal to accept God’s offer of salvation
 Rejection of the whole system of God
5.
 We cannot know the will of God without the revelation
of the Holy Spirit.
 We cannot be saved without knowing and obeying
the will of God.
When we reject the only means by which we
can learn God’s will, then we cannot be
forgiven of our sins.
5.
“If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does
not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life
for those who commit sin not leading to death. There
is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should
pray about that. All unrighteousness is sin, and there
is sin not leading to death.” 1 Jn. 5:16-17
 A sin that a Christian commits and refuses to
repent
 God is willing to forgive, but they will not repent
5.
