What changes us as we read the Bible? Is it Scripture or the Holy Spirit?

Summary

The main theme is the essential, inseparable connection between the Holy Spirit and Scripture for sanctification and salvation. Key references highlight Jesus' prayer in John 17:17 and Calvin's title for the Spirit as "teacher of truth." The practical takeaway is that Reformed traditions should actively and explicitly emphasize the person and work of the Holy Spirit, working through the Word, in all aspects of faith and worship.
