Lesson 2: Take a Look at These Scriptures

Reflect on These Scriptures

Take time to read these verses slowly. The Holy Spirit will help you understand them as you go.

John 14:16-17 (NIV)
"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever — 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."

John 16:13 (NIV)
"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."

Romans 8:26 (NIV)
"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans."

Each of these verses shows a different role of the Holy Spirit — helper, guide, and intercessor. He is actively involved in your everyday life as a believer.
