John 14:26
"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 said to you.
This faith we have in the Holy
Spirit is an important doctrine for all Christians to follow sincerely. Christians,
now a days have clearly ignored this message. The reason for this ignorance is
again a plan executed by the devil where our concentrations have been diverted
towards many other things.
It is a commandment that we
depend on the Holy Spirit for teaching. Whatever we learn anywhere else has no
assurance of leading us towards Christ. The anywhere else can even be preachers,
some specific bible verses, articles etc.
The trend now is to research the
Bible in Hebrew, Greek or other language or archaeology based studies of the
Bible. Some of us show a lot of interest in visiting the Holy Land. This
pursuit is OK if the dependence is still on the Holy Spirit. If we keep boasting
about our choice of the Bible Versions (Tamil, KJV, NLT etc...), it shows that
we depend on the translation. We are forgetting the important truth that the
author is dwelling inside us.
We all know the History that the
Bible was inaccessible for 15 centuries after Christ and everybody did not get
that opportunity to learn the word of God. This does not mean that everybody headed
to hell at that time. It was the Holy Spirit’s guidance and our dependence of
Him.
We should read the Bible by
depending on the Holy Spirit and NOT other resources.
Also, when we try to boast of our
Knowledge, we discourage poor believers who cannot have the opportunities or
time to learn. This action of us is clearly sin. Let us encourage them to
depend of the Holy Spirit.
