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?

God’s Prophetic Spirit

The work of the Holy Spirit with man is always prophetic in its nature when that work is done directly with man.

Additional “Spirit” Verses in the Gospel Accounts

The first two references to the Holy Spirit in the New Testament point to His work in the creation of the body of Jesus. His work in these verses is clearly a direct expression of the divine power and is in line with what is seen in the rest of the gospel accounts.

The Resistible Grace of the Holy Spirit

Within their theology, Calvinists have a perfectly consistent mechanism to address the problem of people who cannot receive the things of the Spirit. They simply assert that the Spirit overrides the depravity of the human condition and forces salvation upon them. Centuries ago, John Calvin “solved” this problem the only way possible. In time, our preachers will also come to the same conclusion. From where they stand now, without turning back, Calvin’s conclusion is inescapable.

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.

Casting the First Stone

They state clearly that the woman was caught in the act of committing adultery. I know times have changed, but not that much. Then, just as now, it takes two people to commit adultery. By definition, if they caught the woman in the act of adultery, they also caught the man.

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
