A True Friend

And I will ask the Father and He will give you Holy Spirit of Truth, who will be to you a friend just like me—and He will never leave you. The world won’t receive Him because they can’t see Him or know him. But you know Him intimately because He remains with you and will live inside you.  John 14:16-17 TPT

Jesus promised that after He died, rose from the grave, and returned to heaven, Holy Spirit would come to be with His people, to live inside of every believer. 

When we believe the Gospel and trust Jesus to save us, we are sealed with Holy Spirit. This is why the Bible calls us God’s temple because God’s Spirit literally dwells in us! 

God gives us His Spirit, so we can know who He is and know how to follow Him. There are times when Holy Spirit will speak to us by giving us a thought or an idea, or He will prompt us to say something, do something, or think something we weren’t thinking before. 

It’s important to know that Holy Spirit will never guide us to say or do anything that doesn’t align with Scripture. If you hear something that conflicts with what you’ve read in the Bible, it is not from the Spirit of God! 

Holy Spirit will be with us forever. He will never leave us or let us down. Instead, if we let Him, He will help us to follow Jesus Christ for all of our days.
