THE THIRD ARTICLE treats of GOD THE HOLY GHOST and His work of
SANCTIFICATION. It tells us how we become partakers of the Redemption
which is described in the Second Article. Christ _has accomplished_ our
redemption, and the Holy Ghost _applies_ that redemption to our souls.
The work of the Holy Ghost _in_ us is as necessary for our salvation as
the [Cor. 2:14] work of Christ _for_ us. We must believe in Christ, if
we would be saved; [Mark 16:16] and it is the Holy Ghost who causes us
to believe. [1 Cor. 12:3]
Article. III, and its Explanation may be analyzed as follows:--
THE HOLY GHOST,
I. _His Person and Nature_: He is True God.
II. _His Work_: He Calls, Enlightens, Sanctifies, and Preserves me in
the true Faith.
III. _His Workmanship_: The Holy Christian Church.
IV. _The Fruits of His Work_: 1. The Forgiveness of Sins. 2. The
Resurrection of the Body, and the Life Everlasting.
THE HOLY GHOST.
I. HIS PERSON AND NATURE.
