13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
The Spirit of Truth helps to lead you to Jesus and make you more like Jesus.
He sanctifies you and tells you what is yet to come.
The Holy Spirit is always speaking but we are sometimes full of pride that God is opposing us. Therefore, we can’t hear God clearly and our walk with God is frustrating. That’s because God is opposing you. Once we humble ourselves God unleashes His grace upon us. Walk humbly with the Holy Spirit.
Listen to the Holy Spirit because He loves you.
