We begin the most important topic concerning the Holy Spirit, His universal role and impact in the life of Christians. We begin with a look at his role in making new saints.

The conclusion to the chart comparison, and a deeper dive into the baptism of the Spirit and its purpose.

another prerequisite to understanding the Spirit's work is separating three avenues of his work that are commonly substituted for each other; the gift of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, and the baptism of the Spirit.

In order to understand the many things that the Spirit does, we begin by analyzing the one work that links all of these individual works together; His 'mission statement', so to speak.

Though not a person in the customary sense, it is important to recognize the Holy Spirit as a living being, every bit as sentient as the Father and Son.

The resurrection is the source of remaking us, but how? Surprisingly there are two answers for this work of Christ.

This word underlies every accomplishment of Jesus resurrection. We cautiously explore what we can reasonably know about the time between Jesus' death and resurrection.

The idea of a 'ransom' has a negative connotation in our vocabulary, but it was once a part of a legal financial regulation. We look at why this word is used to describe Jesus action on the cross.

Having covered the topic of atonement in episode 20 we return to look at the connection of atonement to Christ's work on the cross.

These four ideas seem logical to a certain degree, but they fail to explain what the true object of the cross is. "Why did Jesus (have to) die?" receives various treatment, but we attempt to eliminate some of the deceptively false ideas.
