Three Works of the Holy Spirit in Salvation

1. Restraining Satan from destroying people before they make a decision to accept Christ as their savior. Isiah 59:19
2. Convicting - Mankind's sinfulness and righteousness are exposed by the Holy Spirit. John 16:8
   Ex:
   a.) Felix, a governor, trembles under conviction as Paul preaches. Acts 24:24
   b.) King Agrippa says, "You almost persuaded me to become a Christian." Acts 26:28
3. Regeneration - Repentant sinners are given a new nature by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5

Paul explains the ministry of the Holy Spirit to Nicodemus. John 3:3-7
