The
Advocate
But very truly I tell
you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate
will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he
will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I
am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment,
because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
“I have much more to say
to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he
will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak
only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify
me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All
that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive
from me what he will make known to you.”
John
16:7-15
Messages can be
replicated. One of Satan’s most frequently used techniques is that of
replicating messages in spiritually dangerous ways.
Paul warns us about false
teachers who turn our attention away from Jesus Christ and the message of His
grace.
Jesus said one purpose of
the Holy Spirit living in us is that He can guide us into the truth. With the
help and guidance of the Spirit, we can find the safety of truth in a world of
counterfeit messages.
The Holy Spirit of truth
has come. He will guide us all into truth. With the help and guidance of the
Spirit, we can find the safety of truth in a world of counterfeit messages.

Holy Spirit Is Our Ever-Present Teacher
