John 14:16


Here is a clear reference to the Trinity, the three persons of the godhead; one God in three persons equal in power and glory. The Helper is the Holy Spirit. He comes and works in us to apply all that Christ has done for His people. Christ came for a little while to be our Savior and then ascended into heaven. The Holy Spirit has been sent and will remain forever. The Holy Spirit gives us new birth (John 3). We are gifted by the spirit. We are maintained by the spirit. We are taught by the Spirit through the Word of God. You are never alone. Your God is never far away.
