Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.
What is the role of the Holy Spirit supposed to be in the life of the believer? What exactly is it that the Spirit does? These are couple of the questions that the apostle John answers for his readers in his Gospel and Epistles.
I think for many of us the answers are shrouded in mystery, and we are not exactly sure what good answers to those questions would be. John, however, provides a couple of straightforward answers. In his Epistles especially, the Holy Spirit is a preserver of truth and a pointer toward Jesus Christ. Christ himself said in John’s gospel that when the Spirit comes, He will guide us into all truth and teach us the things Christ would have taught us Himself. A primary role of the Spirit is as preserver and pointer, not as a source of new and sensational information.
The Spirit wants to show me Jesus today-will I take the time to let that happen?
