Regeneration is a theological expression denoting the spiritual change which passes on all men in becoming Christians. Conversion is to pass from a state of nature to a state of regeneration; from a state in which he obeys the mere impulses of the natural life to a state in which a new and higher divine life has been awakened in him. Many Christians have spoken of the rapture of this experience, of its thoroughness, its suddenness, its immediateness.Regeneration suggests a spiritual renewal in which the old things have passed away and all things have become new. |

. Holiness is the virtue of being holy, set apart, sanctified. The verb to consecrate hagiazo means to set a place apart for God, to make it holy, by the offering of a sacrifice upon it. The Christian has been dedicated and consecrated to God by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The root idea of holiness is that of separation. The Jews were the holy people, the nation which was quite separate and different from other peoples. Now if we have been called out as especially belonging to God, we must show ourselves fit in life and character for that service. |

NATURE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
As part of the Trinity of God, the Holy Spirit has a special nature. When we speak of His nature we mean the basic qualities which describe Him. The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is: OMNIPRESENT: This means He is present everywhere: Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? (Psalms 139:7) OMNISCIENT: This means He knows all things: But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the deep things of God. |
