The Holy Spirit

His Gifts and Power.The fraud and manipulation, which abounds in the church under the pretence that it is the work of the Holy
Spirit, make this book required reading. Things excellent in themselves and
acknowledged by all Christians are often counterfeited; the more worthy any
thing is, the more destructive is the abuse of it. All believers must 'try the
spirits' because false prophets and false teachers deprive us of
liberty. Some people claim to know the Spirit's inward enlightenment, but the
darkness of Satan fills their imaginations. This false light is of no use to
the souls of men; it is in opposition to Christ and his work. The only way to
tackle this is by giving a plain and scriptural account of the nature and work
of the Holy Spirit. His work did not end at Pentecost, otherwise all faith in
Christ would have ceased, and Christianity also. The Spirit continues to work
in the hearts of men, convicting of sin; producing godly sorrow and humility;
regenerating and sanctifying; supplying grace and helping in prayer.John
Newton spoke of Owen's work as, 'An epitome, if not the masterpiece of his
writings.' No one who cares about the church in the 21st century can afford to
ignore this exhaustive guide. 'Whenever I return to read Owen I find
myself at least in part wondering why I spend time reading lesser things.'
