John 14:15-18

The Holy Spirit takes the Living Word of God, Jesus the Christ, the Bible and breathes life into it allowing us to understand the hidden meanings and incorporate them into this thing that we call life. Without the Holy Spirit we cannot understand the things of God. Spirit to spirit changing us precept by precept into the image of His Son. We need to listen closely to Him.

All three members of the Trinity are mentioned here. Jesus prayed to the Father who would give the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of truth because He is truth and guides us into all truth.The Spirit of God is active in the world, but His acts go unnoticed by the world. 

Strong’s #4100: The Greek word for believe literally means “to place one’s trust in another”; it occurs over 90 times in the Gospel of John alone. To believe in Jesus is to believe in His person and to trust in Him completely for salvation.

⁵ “If you love Me, keep My commandments. ¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

⁷ For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

²⁷ But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
