He Will Speak, He Will Disclose, He Will Glorify

John 16:13-15 …"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth;

He Intercedes – The Holy Spirit Interceding as the Whole Trinity Observes

Romans 8:26-27 …the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

He Loves Us – “The Love of the Spirit”

Romans 15:30 Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

“But what a holy joy must come into our hearts when we grasp the thought that there is a Divine Person, One who never errs, who is willing to take possession of us and impart to us such gifts as He sees best and to use us according to His wise and loving will.
”R A Torrey “The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit”

He Lives Inside Us – To Transform Us into His Image

1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit;

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
