Holy Spirit in 1 and 2 Thessalonians

Jonathan Jenkins February 4, 2026

We have seen in previous essays how the spread of the prophetic powers into new fields of preaching was integral to the spread of the church. The Spirit’s powers were essential in Jerusalem, Samaria, with Cornelius, and to defend the work of Paul’s first missionary journey. Is it reasonable to think that the same emphasis about the work of the Holy Spirit would be missing from the first epistle written to one of the first apostolically planted churches among the Gentiles in Europe?

When It was Impossible to Repent

What would have happened in A. D. 68 to a Jew who turned from the gifts of God given him through the Holy Spirit? He would have returned to his people. What then? Simply put, he would have died.

Am I Still Saved?

If God is supposedly helping me in my struggles and I still am not able to overcome them . . . well, the problem cannot reside in God. The only conclusion that is left to me is that there is something amiss in my faith.

The Sanctification of the Holy Spirit

Since then we understand that the path to salvation begins with the hearing of faith, if it is true that the order of the phrases in this verse is significant we would arrive at an interesting conclusion. We would come to a position stating that prior to the Thessalonian Gentiles’ believing the gospel, God acted through His Spirit to sanctify (or set apart) them.

The Purpose of Prophecy and Miracles in the Church

The Holy Spirit is the one who is credited with revealing the truth of the mystery to man (1 Corinthians 2:8ff). So it is in this sense that through the Holy Spirit the unification of all man in one body is called the “unity of the Spirit” (Ephesians 4:3).

The Measured Holy Spirit (Acts – Part 5)

it must be understood that the measures paradigm exists simply to explain an expositional trap which should not exist in the first place. The snare is created when it is rejected that Joel’s prophecy actually refers to “all flesh” in the early church. By refusing to consider that truly “all flesh” in the church had access to prophecy, visions, and dreams, modern expositors who reject the charismatic understanding of the Spirit are placed into an interpretive dilemma.

About digital bible study

This is a personal ministry of Eric Owens and Jonathan Jenkins. We started our web streaming efforts in about 2002. DBS has been through several phases for the years. When 2020 turned upside down on all of us, Eric and Jonathan thought that an ongoing series lessons focused on connecting God’s people to Him and each other would be encouraging in hard time. For 4 years we ran the nightly CONNECT online gospel meeting featuring over 200 gospel preachers. Most of those lessons are preserved in the video library on our site. We continue our 20 year history of livestreamed Bible studies today.

We invite you to come along with us in our journey to get to know our our God, our community, and the truth.

Thanks for visiting
