The Holy Spirit does not draw attention to Himself

The Holy Spirit does not draw attention to Himself; instead, He glorifies the Son.
The late John MacArthur, in his book *Strange Fire*, noted, “Show me a person obsessed with the Holy Spirit and His gifts, and I will show you a person not filled with the Holy Spirit. But show me a person focused on the person and work of Christ, and I will show you a person who is filled with the Spirit.”
True Spirit-filled worship is Christ-centered, as the Holy Spirit continually points us to the Savior and glorifies Him in our lives. This observation highlights and essential truth, by focusing on Christ, we align ourselves with the Spirit’s purpose, allowing His power to transform us as we seek to live for the One who redeemed us.
