[John 14:15-24]

God
is love.
He so loved the world that He sent the Word,
and this Word is God (Jn 1:1).
The Word is life (Jn 1:4), and the Word is light.
The Word is the glory of God (Jn 1:14).
The Word became flesh and manifested Himself to us.
The Word shed His blood on the cross,
and saved us from sins (He saved us from the Law) (Jn 6:53-58).
He later sent the Holy Spirit from heaven,
and the Holy Spirit is the Counselor (Jn 14:16).
‘The Counselor’ means ‘a Protector’, ‘a Comforter’, and ‘an Advocate’.
If one falls away from faith, he will be a hypocrite
whose conscience has been seared as with a hot iron (1Ti 4:1-2).
If he falls into corruption, it will be impossible to repent (He 6:1-8).
If he deliberately sins, there will be no sacrifice left for sins (He 10:26).
If a demon comes out, it will come back again
with demons more wicked than itself (Matthew 12:43-45).
If this happens,
the last state of the person will be worse than the first.
Receive the Holy Spirit, who is the Counselor.
○ Believe in Jesus and be cleansed from sins.
The Lord has given us salvation.
Only the blood of Jesus can give us salvation.
○ Receive the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit has given life to us who were dead.
He has enabled us to become children of God.
○ Receive the Holy Spirit, who is the Counselor.
The Holy Spirit protects you forever.
The Holy Spirit protects you in this age and in the age to come.
※ The testimony of a believer is the precious blood of Jesus.
It is the testimony that he has become a child of God.
It is the testimony of the truth that we will be with the Counselor forever.
