The Holy Spirit Is The Other Advocate Sent By God

Christ came down to this earth with a very important mission to accomplish on behalf of humanity. The exact purpose of that mission was to restore humanity back to God by giving them eternal life. Praise God, this very mission was accomplished both victoriously and successfully the moment He voluntarily gave His life and resurrected three days later.

Having said that, there’s another important work that must be fulfilled in the life of those who have chosen to accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior. It’s such a great transformation that must be taken place continually.

It’s in fact the transformation that will display plainly the infinite power of Christ’s death on the lives of those who believe in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17). So that’s the main reason the Holy Spirit was sent by God in order to indwell His children. His job is to empower us daily, so that we can live a fulfilling, victorious, and fruitful life for the glory of God. In other words, His job is to empower us to do the very things that we would have never been able to do within our human ability.

Before Christ actually went to heaven, He had a great conversation with His disciples regarding that very person whose coming was imminent. He told them that He will ask God the Father to send them another advocate who’s famously known as the Helper according to the account of (John 14:16).

The term “another” literally means someone just like Him who will be as caring, loving, and supportive as He is. He spoke about different roles that person will play in their lives among these are He will lead them to all truth, He will remind them of everything He said, He’ll teach them and help them understand the Word of God.

The Spirit of God is the agent who’s working through every believer on a constant basis in order to make them become more and more like Christ. His job is to reveal Christ to us, and empower us to live a life that brings Him glory. He’s the One who bears witness with our human spirit that we’re children of God (Romans 8:16). What an awesome privilege!

He’s the One who empowers us to resist Satan and his field of temptation. He’s the One who reveals Christ to us. Lastly, the life that we must live through Christ revolves around what He’s doing through us for the glory of God. See Christian marriage counselling.
