Bible Verses About The Holy Spirit

King James Version · 16 passages

The Holy Spirit is not a force but a Person, the Comforter whom Jesus promised, who teaches, guides, convicts, and abides with the believer for ever. He gives power to witness, helps our infirmities in prayer, and seals us unto the day of redemption. These passages trace His work from the Lord's promise in the upper room to His indwelling of every child of God.
