John 15:26-16:15 tells the function of the Holy Spirit, He:
1. Reveals Christ
2. Bring conviction is regards to sin and righteousness
3. Lead us into all truth
4. Speak God's words to us
5. Make us able to know God.
The Bible, in various places, talks about him giving us the power to live Holy lives, and to be is witnesses. All of these functions of the Spirit were incredibly important to the early church, without he Holy Spirit the early church would have been a historical blip that never made it out of the 1st century. The Holy Spirit is just as important to us today, the church can not survive without the work of the Holy Spirit, in fact the bible is clear that apart from the work of the Holy Spirit not a single person would ever be able to come to Christ (John 6:44
