The Holy Spirit Lives in Us
Jesus promised that after He died, rose from the grave, and returned to heaven, the Holy Spirit would come to be with His people.
In John 14:16-17, Jesus says, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”
Jesus promised that, when He left, the Holy Spirit would come to live inside of every believer.
When we believe the Gospel and trust Jesus to save us, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. This is why the Bible calls us God’s temple because God’s Spirit literally dwells in us (1 Corinthians 3:16).
God gives us His Spirit, so we can know who He is and know how to follow Him. Often the Holy Spirit will speak to us by giving us a thought or an ideal, or He will prompt us to say something, do something, or think something we weren’t thinking before.
It’s important to know that the 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.
The 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 for all of our days.
About this Plan
Who is the Holy Spirit? What’s His role in our lives? For some, the Holy Spirit is a dear friend. For others, He’s a bit of a mystery. For the next seven days, get to know the Holy Spirit and discover why Jesus said it was better for Him to leave, so that the Holy Spirit could come (John 16:7).
