I hope you are growing in your understanding of Jesus. Have you ever heard about the Holy Spirit? Many people are confused about who the Holy Spirit is.
Jesus said in John 14:16, “I will ask the Father and He will give you another Helper that He may be with you forever.”
Jesus was leaving and He knew the disciples would need help. The word “another” indicates that the Holy Spirit is God just like Jesus is God. The Bible says He comes to live inside of us when we accept Jesus. Why? To help us and give us the power to live as God wants. We often want to be the captain of our own ship. But when we give way to the Holy Spirit, we allow His hand on the rudder to guide our path to please God.
Isn’t it wonderful to know we are not alone?
Jesus goes on to say that the Holy Spirit will help us by:
● Teaching us truth when we read the Bible
● Giving us power to be His witnesses
● Giving us words to pray
● Comforting us
● Convicting us of sin
● Setting us free from sin
● Producing the righteous character of Jesus in us
