A Master Teacher
Have you ever thought about the fact that all Christians have “A Master Teacher” living inside of them?
The Holy Spirit – Part 4
All Christians have a Divine Teacher, the Holy Spirit available to them 24/7.
- The Holy Spirit teaches us spiritual truths and brings these truths to our remembrance.
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 have said to you. (John 14:26 ESV)
- The Holy Spirit teaches us what we ought to say when we need to be saying something.
And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” (Luke 12:11-12 ESV)
- We have a Divine Teacher, the Holy Spirit, living inside of us.
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him. (1 John 2:27 ESV)
What an awesome, often underutilized, resource all Christians have living inside of them.
It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a valuable resource.
**********************************
Personal commentary (for what it is worth): Not to contradict John 2:27 where it says, “you have no need that anyone should teach you”, I believe that God also uses Spirit filled Believers to minister to us. If John did not believe that God uses other believers to teach truth, he would not have written his epistles to teach us. God uses Pastors, Bible teachers, parents, friends, and other people to share Biblical truths. The real work, however, is done by the Holy Spirit. Let’s look at 1 Corinthians 2. In verses 11-13 we read, “So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. (You may want to read all of 1 Corinthians chapter 2.)
