Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

The Holy Spirit in Relationship to the Believer – Part 1

“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.  John 14:25-26

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.  1 John 4:8
