The Spirit in John 14-16
The Spirit would be a Helper. (Parakletos)

[16] “I will ask the Father, and He will give you
another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
John 14:16-17
[17] that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world
cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know
Him, but you know Him
John 14:16-17
because He abides with you and will be in you.
The Spirit in John 14-16
The Spirit would be a Teacher.
John 14:25-26
[25] “These things I have spoken to you while
abiding with you.

Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My
name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all
that I said to you.
The Spirit in John 14-16
The Spirit would be a Testifier.

comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify
about Me,
John 15:26-27
[27] and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the
beginning.
The Spirit in John 14-16
The Spirit would be a Convicter.
John 16:5-11 [7] “But I tell you the truth,
it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper
will not come to you; but if I go, I will send
Him to you.
John 16:5-11
[8] “And He, when He comes, will convict the
world concerning sin and righteousness
and judgment;
John 16:5-11 [9] concerning sin, because they do not
believe in Me; [10] and concerning
righteousness, because I go to the Father and you
no longer see Me;
John 16:5-11
[11] and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has
been judged.
The Spirit in John 14-16
The Spirit would be a Guide.

[12] “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear
them now.
John 16:12-15[13] “But when He, the
Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His
own initiative,
John 16:12-15
but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you
what is to come.
John 16:12-15
[14] “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

[15] “All things that the Father has are Mine;
therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will
disclose it to you.
Jesus Sending the Spirit
Notice how this worked in Acts 2.
1 Corinthians 14:37
[37] If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let
him recognize that the things which I write to
you are the Lord's commandment.
1 Thessalonians 2:13
[13] For this reason we also constantly thank God
that when you received the word of God which
you heard from us,
1 Thessalonians 2:13
you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word
of God, which also performs its work in
you who believe.
The Spirit…
Hebrews 3:7
[7] Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,
“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
The Spirit…
(1) Still speaks.
Ephesians 4:30
[30] Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the
day of redemption.
The Spirit…
(2) Can be grieved.
1 Thessalonians 5:19
[19] Do not quench the Spirit;
The Spirit…
(3) Can be quenched.
The Spirit is trying to help
us believe!
