How does the Holy Spirit work in the world?

The world cannot receive the Holy Spirit because of its unbelief, but it can see what He does in the life of believers (1 Corinthians 2:14). As believers we are members of Christâ??s body, the church, and the Holy Spirit came to empower the church to witness to Jesus Christ. The world will not read the Bible so they must read our lives (1 Corinthians 1:18). So the Holy Spirit works through the church in reaching the lost world. But not everyone responds to the witness of the Spirit to Christ. And here we have to be careful. The Scriptures remind us that the Holy Spirit is like the wind "we don't know where it comes from or where it is going" (John 3:8). But just as we can see the effects of the wind, we can see the effects of the Spirit’s presence when He appears in people’s lives.
