That’s correct! The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in the process of salvation. Without the Holy Spirit, no one can:

1. _Recognize their need for salvation_: The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin and our need for a Savior (John 16:8-11).
2. _Understand spiritual truth_: The Holy Spirit illuminates our understanding of God’s Word and helps us grasp the gospel message (1 Corinthians 2:10-16).
3. _Respond to God’s grace_: The Holy Spirit enables us to respond to God’s offer of salvation and believe in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-10).
4. _Be regenerated_: The Holy Spirit regenerates us, giving us new life in Christ (Titus 3:5-7).
5. _Grow in faith_: The Holy Spirit sanctifies us, helping us grow in our faith and become more like Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18).

As Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day” (John 6:44). The Holy Spirit is the one who draws us to Jesus, enabling us to trust in Him for salvation.

In short, the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation, and without Him, no one can be saved. He is the divine agent who brings us to faith, regenerates us, and sanctifies us, ultimately leading us to eternal life with God.
