The Helper with You

You cannot live the Christian life without the Helper, the Holy Spirit. God's Spirit lives in every believer to guide us according to the truth of Jesus. All believers fail from time to time, but God never intended that we try to live the Christian life without help from the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit testifies to you of Christ through the Bible. He leads you into the truth of Christ. He is with you always to help you live for Christ. Without His help, no one can live the Christian life. Jesus said, "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of me" (John 15:26).

Have you failed in your life as a Christian? You're not alone. You read in the Bible of people like Peter, Thomas, Timothy, and Mark, who failed the Lord in one way or another. Yet, they didn't give up. They got up and went on with our Lord. Through their defeats, they became victorious. The reason was the same in all of them. The Holy Spirit was their Helper.

As a believer in Christ, the Holy Spirit is your Helper. Your Helper has come. He is here with you always to help. Recognize Him. Depend upon Him. Thank Him for helping you. The Helper lives in all believers. "After you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise" (Ephesians 1:13).
