Holy Spirit Atributes
A Study of the Holy Spirit
"I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. {13} But when
he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all 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. {14} He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and
making it known to you. {15} 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
16:12-15 NIV)
