I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you (John 16:7). The unique character of this present dispensation is defined by two, never before true, circumstances: 1) Christ, as a man, is glorified on high; 2) the Holy Spirit has a personal, abiding presence here on earth. It is the latter (though dependent on the former) that I wish to take up in this pamphlet. Without a Scriptural understanding of this all-important subject, we cannot possibly understand this present dispensation, nor walk as Christians. The role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer will be our primary focus. The collective aspect of the Spirit’s activity will be touched on, but that much neglected subject deserves a separate treatment. If teaching concerning the Holy Spirit’s role within the individual has been found wanting, we must confess that the collective role of the Spirit of God, as dwelling within the church, has been entirely discredited, if not doctrinally, then certainly practically.
