The Witness of the Church
The gift of the Spirit equips the Church to bear witness to what God has done in His Son, especially through his death and resurrection . At the beginning of the Book of Acts , Jesus tells his disciples that they will be baptized in the Holy Spirit in a few days, and this will empower his people to testify of what God has accomplished through His Son. The Spirit enables the Church of Jesus Christ to proclaim the Gospel to every nation, man, woman, and child.
