John 14:15-17 English Standard Version
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
While there may be more obvious things to discuss in His comment “It is finished”, this next issue is important because of the significance that only God has the power to give of Himself in life as never before.
Only God can tell us the thoughts of God and share with us His plans and His will for us and others. This is made possible in the third person of God, the Holy Spirit. If we cannot accept the Trinity of God, then we cannot accept the presence of God in us in the person of the Spirit of Truth. Jesus’ words confirm this by saying “the world cannot receive”.
Hebrews 10:31 English Standard Version (ESV) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
While this comment is true, we should understand that fearful here is a respectful reverence for the third person of God in us that will only serve in accordance with the purpose for which He was given. He has no agenda of His own.
John 14:25-27 English Standard Version
25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 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. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
We need not be afraid of the Holy Spirit because Jesus said not to be afraid in our hearts.
