John 14:15-21
Jesus Talks About the Advocate, the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
Jesus says that if we keep His commands He will give us an Advocate, the Holy Spirit and He will be with us...This Advocate, this Comforter is also called the Spirit of Truth...This Advocate will live with us and be with us forever, when we follow Jesus' commands...So God and Jesus are near us and with us forever with the Holy Spirit, when we follow their Ways...
Every believer has the indwelt Holy Spirit, but not everyone or every believer follows the Holy Spirit...Some people do things their way and not the Holy Spirit's Way, or the LORD's Way...We are not under control of the Holy Spirit, because God gives us free will to do what we want to do...The decisions we make each and everyday we can either bring the LORD into our life or leave Him out...
When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we want to do more things Spiritual in nature and in tune with Jesus...That is when we keep His commands and become obedient to Him...By being obedient to Him shows our love for Him...And the one who loves Him will be LOVED by God and Jesus too will LOVE them and He will show Himself to us...
