“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, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.” - John 16:13 (NASB)
Here is another promise from Jesus given to His disciples during his last night with them before His crucifixion. Jesus taught them many things during the years of His ministry and this evening, the last Passover meal He would have on earth with them, was full of reassurance and loving promises. These promises and teaching were intended not only for the 11 disciples but also for all who have believed the Gospel and been born again. The promise of the Holy Spirit, sent from the Father in the name of the Son, was also a promise of guidance into all truth. This is the subject of the inspired New Testament which many of the disciples were to write. This was also the ministry of the indwelling Holy Spirit. New inspired books of the Bible are not being written, instead we are proclaiming the truth God has given us in His Word. Not everything we read in the Bible is easily understood but we have the Spirit of Truth who guides us in all truth in the Bible. We have the Spirit of Truth dwelling in us, to guide our understanding of the Scriptures.
