Great Knowledge... Available to ALL!

All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
John 16:15 (NIV)

  • I really love this scripture. Jesus here explains the connection that we all have, the connection to God the Father.
  • Jesus has an understanding of God that is so vast, and yet He (by the Spirit) wants to share it with us and make Him known to us.
  • God's generosity and love is so great! He wants to give us all He has, and make things known to us that will only deepen our relationship with Him.
  • A love for Jesus, and trusting in Him with all your heart will allow God to love and work in your life. Jesus himself tells us this in verse 27: "the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God."
  • We need to keep the Spirit within ourselves, always. For it is through the Spirit we are guided and through the Spirit we can hear and learn truth from God.
  • Keeping the Holy Spirit within keeps the connection to God.
  • Jesus is God's gift to the world, and the Spirit is God's gift to each and every one of us as individuals.
  • Jesus enables us to have a direct-to-God connection. God sent Jesus so that we may know Him and His ways.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for sending Your Son to be that excellent example for us, to give us teaching that otherwise we would not know, and to ultimately pay for our sins. Thank You so much Lord, for it is through Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may have a close relationship with You. I pray that I may always keep You near, and forever keep the Holy Spirit within me.  ~Amen
