(Nuggets from John 14:17)
"Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,"....
Jesus was referring to the COMFORTER as THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, because TRUTH is one of the attributes of God.
(Deuteronomy 32:4)
"He is the Rock, His work is perfect: For all His ways are judgment: A GOD OF TRUTH, and without iniquity, Just and right is He."
The COMFORTER whom Jesus promised would come and dwell with His disciples when after His departure from this world is the HOLY SPIRIT, the SPIRIT OF GOD, TRUTH PERSONIFIED.
The HOLY SPIRIT gives BOLDNESS and EMPOWERS the BELIEVER who is qualified to be Gods abode, whose life is VOID OF SIN and FILTH.
"WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE"..
The SPIRIT OF TRUTH cannot be received by the world because the things of the SPIRIT are like FOOLISHNESS to a worldly person. The WORLD here are the CARNALLY-MINDED FOLKS.
They still have the ADAMIC NATURE operational in them. Such natural men can neither receive the Holy Spirit nor understand the things of the Spirit they do not love them, but instead, they despise and hate them:
"because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him;"
The world (carnal people) can neither see Him (The Holy Spirit) with their eyes, because He is a "SPIRIT"; nor know him with their understanding, because He is the "Spirit of truth", which they are ignorant of, because their eyes of understanding are not enlightened.
"But ye know him;", referring to those who are SPIRITUALLY-MINDED, they know the Holy Spirit as a spirit of ILLUMINATION, REGENERATION, and CONVERSION: THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH who shows them the way and directs them through to eternal life.
"For He dwelleth with you" ; He (THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH ) is an INHABITANT in your heart, He has taken up his residence in you as His temple. What an honor it is to have the SPIRIT OF GOD dwell in you.
"And shall be in you;".. As a Comforter, Jesus told His disciples that when He was finally gone, the HOLY SPIRIT would guide them into all truth, stand by them and assist them in preaching the gospel and at the same time enable them to win souls and fulfill their ministries individually and collectively.
COVET THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH TODAY, KEEP YOUR LIFE HOLY AND HE WILL MAKE YOU HIS ABODE.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
