    <br />Guided by the Spirit

  • The Word of God - Day 2

    <br />Guided by the Spirit

  • What promises in the following two passages of Scripture give you confidence in the accuracy of the Apostle’s teaching.

  • John 14:25-26 "These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you."

    John 16:12-15 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for He will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that He will take what is mine and declare it to you. "
