[1] {Holy Ghost}
The Holy Spirit, N.T. Summary (see Mal 2.15, note):
» See Note "Mal 2:15"
(1) The Holy Spirit is revealed as a divine Person. This is expressly
declared (e.g.)
# Joh 14:16,17,26 15:26 16:7-15 Mt 28:19
and everywhere implied.
(2) The revelation concerning Him is progressive (a) In the O.T. (see Mal
2.15, note), He comes upon whom He will, apparently without reference to
conditions in them (b) During His earth-life, Christ taught his disciples
# Lu 11:13
that they might receive the Spirit through prayer to the
Father. (c) At the close of His ministry He promised that He would
Himself pray the Father, and that in answer to prayer the Comforter would
come to abide
# Joh 14:16,17
(d) On the evening of His resurrection He came to the disciples in
the upper room, and breathed on them saying, "Receive ye the Holy
Ghost"
# Joh 20:22
but instructed them to wait before beginning their ministry till the
Spirit should come \\upon\\ them
# Lu 24:49 Ac 1:8
(e) On the day of Pentecost the Spirit came upon the whole body of
believers
# Ac 2:1-4
(f) After Pentecost, so long as the Gospel was preached to Jews only,
the Spirit was imparted to such as believed by the laying on of hands
# Ac 8:17 9:17
etc.).
(g) When Peter opened the door of the kingdom to the Gentiles (Ac 10.),
the Holy Spirit, without delay, or other condition than faith, was
given to those who believed.
# Ac 10:44 11:15-18
This is the permanent fact for the entire church age. Every believer
is born of the Spirit
# Joh 3:3,6 1Jo 5:1
indwelt by the Spirit, whose presence makes the believer's body a temple
# 1Co 6:19 Ro 8:9-15 1Jo 2:27 Ga 4:6
and baptized by the Spirit
# 1Co 12:12,12,13 1Jo 2:20,27
thus sealing him for God
# Eph 1:13 4:30
(3) The N.T. distinguishes between having the Spirit, which is true of
all believers, and being filled with the Spirit, which is the believer's
privilege and duty (cf)
# Ac 2:4
with
# Ac 4:29-31
# Eph 1:13,14
with
# Eph 5:18
--"One baptism, many fillings."
(4) The Holy Spirit is related to Christ in His Conception
# Mt 1:18-20 Lu 1:35
baptism
# Mt 3:16 Mr 1:10 Lu 3:22 Joh 1:32,33
walk and service
# Lu 4:1,14
resurrection
# Ro 8:11
and as His witness throughout this age
# Joh 15:26 16:8-11,13,14
(5) The Spirit forms the church
# Mt 16:18
» See Note "Heb 12:23"
by baptizing all believers into the body of Christ
# 1Co 12:12,13
imparts gifts for service to every member of that body
# 1Co 12:7-11,27,30
guide the members in their service
# Lu 2:27 4:1 Ac 16:6,7
and is Himself the power of that service
# Ac 1:8 2:4 1Co 2:4
(6) The Spirit abides in the company of believers who constitute a local
church, making of them, corporately, a temple
# 1Co 3:16,17
(7) Christ indicates a threefold personal relationship of the Spirit to
the believer: "With", "In", "upon"
# Joh 14:17 Lu 24:49 Ac 1:8
"With" indicates the approach of God to the soul, convicting of sin
# Joh 16:9
presenting Christ as the object of faith
# Joh 16:14
imparting faith
# Eph 2:8
and regenerating
# Joh 3:3-16
"In" describes the abiding presence of the Spirit in the believer's body
# 1Co 6:19
to give victory over the flesh
# Ro 8:2-4 Ga 5:16,17
to create the Christian character
# Ga 5:22,23
to help infirmities
# Ro 8:26
to inspire prayer
# Eph 6:18
to give conscious access to God
# Eph 2:18
to actualize to the believer his sonship
# Ga 4:6
to apply the Scripture in cleansing and sanctification
# Eph 5:26 2Th 2:13 1Pe 1:2
to comfort and intercede
# Ac 9:31 Ro 8:26
and to reveal Christ
# Joh 16:14
(8) Sins against the Spirit committed by unbelievers are: To blaspheme
# Mt 12:31
resist
# Ac 7:51
insult
# Heb 10:29
"despite," lit. \\insult\\). Believers' sins against the Spirit are:
To grieve Him by allowing evil in heart or life
# Eph 4:30,31
and to quench Him by disobedience
# 1Th 5:19
The right attitude toward the Spirit is yieldedness to His sway in
walk and service, and in constant willingness that He shall "put away"
whatever grieves Him or hinders His power
# Eph 4:31
(9) The \\symbols\\ of the Spirit are: (a) oil
# Joh 3:34 Heb 1:9
(b) water
# Joh 7:38,39
(c) wind
# Ac 2:2 Joh 3:8
(d) fire
# Ac 2:3
(e) a dove
# Mt 3:16
(f) a seal
# Eph 1:13 4:30
(g) an earnest or pledge
# Eph 1:14

[1] {said unto them}
The theme of Peter's sermon at Pentecost is stated in verse 36. It is,
that Jesus is the Messiah. No message could have been more unwelcome to
the Jews who had rejected His Messianic claims, and crucified Him.
Peter, therefore, does not announce his theme until he has covered every
possible Jewish objection. The point of difficulty with the Jews was the
apparent failure of the clear and repeated prophetic promise of a
regathered Israel established in their own land under their covenanted
King (e.g).
# Isa 11:1-12 Jer 23:5-8 Eze 37:21-18
Instead of explaining, as Rome first taught, followed by some
Protestant commentators, that the covenant and promises were to be
fulfilled in the church in a so-called "spiritual" sense, Peter shows
# Ac 2:25-32
from Ps 16. that David himself understood that the dead and risen
Christ would fulfil the covenant and sit on his throne
# Lu 1:32,33
In precisely the same way James
# Ac 15:14-17
met the same difficulty. See "Kingdom (O.T.),"
# Lu 1:33 1Co 15:24

[1] {last days}
A distinction must be observed between "the last days" when the
prediction relates to Israel, and the "last days" when the prediction
relates to the church
# 1Ti 4:1-3 2Ti 3:1-8 Heb 1:1,2 1Pe 1:4,5 2Pe 3:1-9 1Jo 2:18,19 Jude 1:17-19
Also distinguish the expression the "last days" (plural) from "the
last day" (singular); the latter expression referring to the
resurrections and last judgment
# Joh 6:39,40,44,54 11:24 12:48
The "last days" as related to the church began with the advent of
Christ
# Heb 1:2
but have especial reference to the time of declension and apostasy at
the end of this age
# 2Ti 3:1 4:4
The "last days" as related to Israel are the days of
Israel's exaltation and blessing, and are synonymous with the
kingdom-age
# Isa 2:2-4 Mic 4:1-7
They are "last" not with reference to this dispensation, but with
reference to the whole of Israel's history.
