What is the exact role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a person who comes to faith? How much of the experienced change is down to him? How much is it part of our human will? What exactly does the Holy Spirit do at a person's conversion? How much do we cooperate in this momentous inner change?
One of the most incredible yet controversial aspects of the work of the Holy Spirit is within what we might call the soteriological framework. How is it that the Holy Spirit changes a human life from ignorance and resistance to God, to a full and meaningful embracing of the truth? Is the transformation, or another word scripture employs, the regeneration, of the human heart a joint act between our accepting, and the Spirit’s working? Or is it something that the Holy Spirit works profoundly within us in and of himself?
In this fourth episode of our series on the Holy Spirit, Pete and the Curious team take a deep dive into the unusual and profound involvement of the Holy Spirit in transforming the human heart from Christ-resistant to Christ-embracing and following. How does the Spirit work, what does he do? Why is “born-again” the most succinct and meaningful definition of the Spirit’s work in the human heart? How is it that such a work cannot be produced by human learning or experience, but is uniquely and solely a sovereign work of the Holy Spirit Himself? This and more occupies the thoughts of the team in this week's episode.
