The Holy Spirit convicts us of the sin of unbelief. The Holy Spirit convicts us, pricks our hearts, and awakens us to the need for the Savior (John 16:7-11). The Spirit of grace prepares us to be saved through faith in Christ.
The Spirit of grace gives faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-10). The gospel of grace is Christ crucified for our sins and risen from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The Holy Spirit brings the gift of faith in Christ (1 Corinthians 13:13). Faith is received through the word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit (Romans 10:17; 2 Timothy 3:16).
God our Father draws us to Christ, through the Spirit of grace (John 6:44). The Holy Spirit enables our response to the gospel of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:3). To be saved by grace alone means the Spirit of grace gives us faith. We respond to the gospel through the Spirit of grace, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.
