Is this not the most precious of all the ministries of the Holy Spirit, securing our eternal glory against everything in the entire universe, every person and every circumstance?

I'm convinced and I give the Holy Spirit the worship that He is due.

Here's a question for you. Who is it that saves you from sins? Is it God the Father, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit?

Well, John MacArthur's answer today on grace to you might surprise you and change how you worship God.

So stay tuned for his study called Lessons for a Modern Day Disciple.

Now, John, today we're going to hear the second half of the message that you began last Friday.

First, I want to ask you a question which was prompted by the comments you made in the studio prior to Friday's message.

You sort of passed over this very quickly, but I want you to expand on this question. What is the primary work of the Holy Spirit?

The primary work of the Holy Spirit as stated by our Lord Himself is to reveal Christ.

That's the primary work. He will show you Christ. That's what Jesus said when he was talking to his disciples in the upper room.

In addition to that, it is to convict of sin and righteousness and judgment which ties into the gospel.

The work of the Holy Spirit is to convict the sinner of sin and then of righteousness and then of judgment and then show him the glories of Christ.

In 2 Corinthians 3, 18, the Apostle Paul says, as we gaze at the glory of the Lord, we're transformed into his image by the Holy Spirit.

So the Spirit's gospel ministry is to show the sinner his sin, show the righteousness of God, show the subsequent judgment on sin, and then reveal Christ who is the remedy, the one who delivers from sin and judgment.

I've been talking about a new booklet on the Holy Spirit that we will send free of charge to anyone who requests it.

The title, the true work of the Holy Spirit. The true work of the Holy Spirit. It looks at how the Holy Spirit draws unbelievers to Christ.

Convicts us of sin allows us to have fellowship with God, seals our salvation, and more marvelous works.

So contact us today and request your free copy of the brand new booklet, the true work of the Holy Spirit.

But first, follow along as we consider the issue of restoring the worship of the Holy Spirit.

Yes, friend, you won't want to miss this message. Afterwards, I'll pass along our contact information so you can request a free copy of John's new booklet, the true ministry of the Holy Spirit.

But for now, join John in Romans chapter 8 as he begins the lesson.

If you would please open the word of God to the eighth chapter of Romans, and let's go back to the eighth chapter of Romans, and taking a look at a great doctrine under the heading of restoring the worship of the Holy Spirit.
