John 15:26. When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.
Jesus called the Holy Spirit the Advocate—the Helper, the Counselor, the Comforter, and the Intercessor. This is the Holy Spirit who comes alongside every believer to defend, comfort, and empower—an Eternal Friend who stands beside us and works within us.
The Holy Spirit’s primary mission is to testify that Jesus is the Christ. He does this through the Word—by teaching and reminding us of what Jesus said:
“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26).
From the moment you believed that Jesus is the Christ, the Holy Spirit began living in you—making you significant, valuable, unique, and powerful. Scripture declares, “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells within you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). The indwelling Spirit is your identity and security. You are never ordinary—you are a living temple of the living God!
So do not be discouraged. You matter to God. You are no longer “in the realm of the flesh” but “in the realm of the Spirit” because “the Spirit of God lives in you” (Romans 8:9). You belong to Christ, and because of that, no one can snatch you from His hand and the Father’s hand (John 10:28-29). God wanted you, chose you, and sealed you as His own forever.
Because the Holy Spirit lives in you, the law of sin and death no longer has any power over you:
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:1–2).
You are free—free from guilt, shame, and the accusations of the enemy. Stop listening to the voice of condemnation. The devil is the accuser, but you overcome him by “the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony” (Revelation 12:11). Your testimony is that Jesus is the Christ, and the Spirit of life dwells in you.
Do not let the voice, standards, or opinions of the world blur the truth of the gospel. “When he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth… and he will tell you what is yet to come” (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit will never lead you apart from Scripture, for the Word of God is what He inspired and illuminates (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Therefore, stand firm on the Word of truth. Do not be moved by emotions, human opinions, or worldly wisdom. Trust the Spirit to reveal God’s thoughts to you, to guide you in righteousness, and to fill you with the peace that comes only from Christ (John 14:27).
Today’s Word reveals the powerful reality of the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—working together in perfect unity in us and through us. Through the Son, we come to the Father; through the Spirit, we experience His presence and power. The Father loves us with everlasting love; the Son delivers us from the power of sin, Satan, and hell; and the Spirit dwells in us, guiding and empowering us.
So, walk each day in the fullness of God Himself—resting in the Father’s love, following the Son’s truth of the gospel, and depending on the Spirit’s power. In this fellowship of the Triune God, you will find perfect peace, unshakable strength, and the joy of His kingdom. And with the blessing of His throne upon you, you will stand as Christ’s witness to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). God will save, heal, and restore all peoples through you: the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes (Genesis 12:1-3).
Prayer. Father, thank You for sending the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of truth who testifies that Jesus is the Christ. Help me to listen to His voice, walk in His guidance, and proclaim His truth boldly. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
