Holy Spirit Respects Free Will
- The Holy Spirit calls us to the Lord but honors our free will and does not override it.
- Being sealed by the Holy Spirit marks believers as belonging to God, which deters the devil's attacks.
Multiple Roles of Holy Spirit
- The Holy Spirit seals believers, teaches divine truths, empowers for service, and fills believers repeatedly.
- Receiving the Spirit at salvation is one thing; being filled with Spirit power afterward enables bold witness.
Holy Spirit Can Be Resisted
- The Holy Spirit can be resisted by individuals, evidenced by the biblical question to the Sanhedrin, "Why do you always resist the Holy Spirit?"
- This resistance demonstrates that the Spirit’s call is not irresistible grace but requires willing acceptance.
