The Holy Spirit’s Role in My Redemption | Romans 8:2

As Christians, we worship the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the unity of the Godhead, these three Persons execute distinct but harmonious offices in our redemption. Romans 8:2–4 is one of the rare places in all the Bible where we see all three Persons of the Trinity executing these roles together. In this message, we will focus on the role of the Holy Spirit in the great work of redemption. The Holy Spirit is not a force; He is a Person that wills, feels and thinks. He is also God, worthy of the same honor and equal in divinity with the Father and the Son. We will examine the ways in which the Holy Spirit has set us free from the law of sin and death, and how the Holy Spirit continues to set us free from sin and death.

Take-Home Message: The great work of redemption is the great work of the Triune God.
