Likely the most important truth about the Holy Spirit’s active work that we must remember is that the Holy Spirit always works through his Word. Through his illuminating power, the Spirit opens our minds and hearts to accept and submit to the authority of the Word that he inspired. And thus it is through such submission to the Word that the Spirit sanctifies us. This is critically important to recognize: the Holy Spirit will not sanctify us apart from his Word.In fact, this is exactly what is indicated when Paul commands us to “be filled with the Spirit” (Eph 5:18). Like Spirit baptism and illumination, Spirit filling is another work of the Spirit that has been significantly confused in by errant teaching, but careful attention to the biblical text will give us clarity as to the exact nature of this work of the Spirit.Scott Aniol's blog:https://g3min.org/blogs/scott-aniol/Article, audio, itinerary:https://www.scottaniol.com/Podcast:https://anchor.fm/scottaniolFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/scottmaniolTwitter:https://twitter.com/ScottAniolInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/scottmaniol/
