Serious dealing with God in prayer is wrought in us by the Spirit, in whose light we see both God and ourselves, His majesty and our vileness, His purity and our sinfulness, His greatness and our nothingness.
— Thomas Manton (1620–1677)
Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Be all thy graces now out-poured
On the believer’s mind and soul,
To strengthen, save, and make us whole.
— Martin Luther (1483-1546)
The Doctrine of the Trinity
The doctrine of the Trinity! you ask me what that is. It is that doctrine that sheweth us the love of God the Father in giving His Son; the love of God the Son in giving Himself; and the love of the Lord the Spirit in His work of regenerating us, that we may be made able to lay hold of the love of the Father by His Son.
— John Bunyan
The Bible and the Spirit
The Bible applied to the heart by the Holy Spirit, is the chief means by which men are built up and established in the faith, after their conversion.
— J. C. Ryle
The Holy Spirit
We need to understand that when the Spirit communicates to God’s people, he communicates to them by the Word, with the Word, through the Word, and never against the Word. There are millions who claim to be led by the Spirit into sin and disobedience. The testimony we receive from the Holy Spirit comes in and through the Word.
— R. C. Sproul
