59. The Spirit of Truth: Leading Us into All Truth

Send us Fan MailIn the Christian life, the Spirit of Truth, illuminates the Word, guiding us into truth and helping us navigate the complexities of faith in a world filled with falsehood. 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. (John 16:13)John Owen states, “The Spirit of truth, as promised by Christ, abides with the church to guide it into all truth, not by the giving of new revelations, but by opening the meaning of Scripture that has already been given.” (The Holy Spirit, Works of John Owen, Vol. 3)
