And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. (Joh 14:16-21)
Jesus sent the Holy Ghost; Comforter, Guide, and Friend, to indwell all who trust in Him, that we might be empowered to accomplish His will and do His work in this world. All those who are secure in Christ, through repentance and faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary are filled with the Holy Spirit, who guides us in to all Truth. We know Him, and have both a relationship and fellowship with GOD through the communion of the Holy Spirit. He is the down payment of the promise of our inheritance as His children, our glorification to be like Him, and reconciliation with GOD, that began when we were justified, continues as He continues to sanctify us through His Word, until we are finally with Christ. He leads us, if not grieved or quenched by our disobedience or indifference, that we might lift up Jesus Christ and glorify the Son and the Father.
He is not an impersonal force, but the Spirit of GOD, who is GOD, one with the Son and the Father. The natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit, but we hear His voice and understand those things which are spiritually discerned, for we are His, and He is in us. We do His will and keep His commandments, for we love Him, and He loves us, and works in us both to do and to will of His good pleasure. The Father is conforming His own into the image of His dear Son through His Word and the Holy Spirit until we all come into the full measure of Him and He is finished with us in this lost and dying world.
We are His ambassadors, and are to represent Him and His Kingdom while He has left us here. We are not to be of this world and its sIn, nor love its things: the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of life, but to wait on GOD and minister to others in His Name that they might see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. We are to encourage one another and provoke one another to love and good works as we grow in His Word and love one another as He loved us, that all may know that we are His disciples. We are to take His Word with the Gospel in the power of the Holy Ghost to all we meet that they may believe and be reconciled with the Father through repentance and faith in the Good News of Jesus Christ and have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
