"Judgment" here refers to conviction of sins, and "burning" to consuming, removing, and<br />
destroying of sins. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to produce conviction and to apply the work of<br />
redemption in producing the new birth, at which time sins are consumed and removed.<br />
"The Spirit of Holiness"<br />
"And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the<br />
resurrection from the dead" (Rom. 1:4).<br />
<strong>He</strong>re the holiness of the Spirit is emphasized. <strong>He</strong> dwelt in the holy One of God when <strong>He</strong> was on<br />
earth, and <strong>He</strong> approves all that is holy. <strong>He</strong> approved the holiness of Christ by raising Him from the<br />
dead.<br />
"The Spirit of Promise"<br />
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you<br />
for ever" (John 14:16).<br />
"And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from<br />
Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me" (Acts 1:4).<br />
"Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father, the promise<br />
of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear" (Acts 2:33).<br />
"In whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise" (Eph. 1:13).<br />
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of promise. <strong>He</strong> has been promised by the Father, and by the Son, and<br />
<strong>He</strong>, as the Spirit of promise came as was promised. <strong>He</strong> is the Spirit of promise in a twofold manner.<br />
First, <strong>He</strong> was given in fulfillment of the promise of the Father and the Son. And secondly, unto those<br />
who receive Him <strong>He</strong> as the Spirit of promise becomes the earnest of a promise which is yet<br />
unfulfilled. <strong>He</strong> could not be given as the Spirit of promise until after Christ was glorified, for <strong>He</strong><br />
must be given by Christ as well as by the Father. During the incarnation and humiliation of Christ,<br />
the Second Person of the Trinity subordinated Himself to the Spirit; therefore, during this period <strong>He</strong><br />
could not give the Spirit. After the exaltation of Christ, when <strong>He</strong> entered into His glory and exalted<br />
position, the Spirit again became subordinate to Christ Who sent Him to become incarnated in the<br />
church.<br />
"The Spirit of Truth"<br />
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of<br />
truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me" (John 15:26).<br />
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13).
