John 14:15-17 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- 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.”
Jesus was speaking to the disciples when He said this. Before Jesus died and rose again, people had to give sacrifices to be in right standing with God, but once Jesus rose from the dead, the Holy Spirit became available to ALL who would BELIEVE in Jesus as Lord and Savior. It’s interesting that Jesus made it very clear that only those who believe would understand who the Spirit of truth is. Once we recognize our need for God to come in and transform our lives, our eyes begin to “see” what God is all about. I am thankful for the Holy Spirit in my life. He has changed my heart and my life and shown me truth that I did not see before I asked God into my life.
