“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.” John 16:13
The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth in John 14:16-17. He teaches or guides believers in all necessary truth and brings truth home to their hearts. He abides with every believer forever and leads, confirms and empowers the truth as it is in Jesus.
In John 16:13, the Spirit of Truth was given for reproof and conviction plus enlightenment and edification. He will guide into all specific truth about Jesus and the significance of what He said and did. He brings the truth home with power. He guides to discover truth beyond all comparison with any other truth, but never in opposition to the Scriptures.
The Spirit of Truth bears testimony of Jesus and teaches nothing contrary to what Jesus taught. He is a “remembrancer” of truth that Jesus conveyed to His apostles. He unfolds truth to the eye of the human spirit and fully explains future events to make revelation complete and perfect.
