The Promise of the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever.
John 14:23-26
23 Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and live with them.
24 Those who do not love me do not obey my teaching. And the teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father, who sent me.
25 “I have told you this while I am still with you.
26 The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.
