"Your Word is a lamp to my feet" (Ps 119:105)

"He will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13)

What is the Holy Spirit's purpose?

The Holy Spirit’s ministry is to glorify Christ by pointing people to Him and equipping His followers to continue Christ’s work on earth in His absence. That equipping is through spiritual gifts (Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12) and spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:22-23). Jesus said, “When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me” (John 15:26).
