Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

Jesus promised when he left he would send a counselor to be with the disciples (and us). He is speaking of the Holy Spirit.  According to scripture,  the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are One.

In Acts (2:38 & 39) Peter replied "Repent and be babtized every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call.

Jesus tells us that those who believe in and Him and live in Him, He will live in them.  He says the followers that loves Him and keeps his commandments shows that they love Him.  All we have to do is trust in His word and obey him, he will always show us favor.  Nothing or no one can come between God's love for us, for it is unflailing and unconditional.  God is a forgiving God and continues to show us that love as long as we obey his commandments.

Jesus Promises
In Matthew 7:24-25, the analogy of the man who built his house upon the rock, He promises a new level of wisdom and security that cannot be shaken by even the most powerful internal or external forces. He defines a level of wisdom and security that is unknown and elusive to the world in general and even to most Christians. And these are just a few of the more than two dozen promises that the Lord makes to those who begin to "abide" in His words On the other hand, Jesus made incredible promises to Christians who would learn His words and use those words to guide their decisions, behavior and beliefs. Remember his promise in John 8:31-32, "If you abide in my word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

In what ways has the Holy Spirit given you insights about Jesus and the truth?
Jesus said that if man loves me he will keep my word. My Father will love him & will come to him, and I will disclose Myself to him. God the father, Jesus Christ, Son of God & Holy Spirit are one but having the willingness to give all possessions to Him and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you in all truth.  The Holy Spirit will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that he said to you.

The Holy Spirit...

...has given us the ability and stability to seek the Word, understand that inwhich we receive (its message), and to apply our new understanding in our everyday life. In this we are blessed, for God shall never reveal to us more than our mere mortal minds can handle.

...guides us along as we attempt to walk the path that God has laid before us, serving His purpose.

...was bestowed upon us; those who believe in the life and teachings of Jesus, so we may better ourselves in the way we live, love and communicate God's Word.

According to Jesus, what does it mean to be loved by God?
15If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever¨ 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. ''Jesus quoted by John 14:15 - 21''

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

"If you love me, keep my commandments. I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,--the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him. He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me. I have said these things to you, while still living with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. You heard how I told you, 'I go away, and I come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said 'I am going to my Father;' for the Father is greater than I. Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe. I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
