HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH / JOHN 16:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 16:13

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH / JOHN 16:13

The convicting work of the Holy Spirit (John 16:8) is not only directed toward those who do not know Christ (John 16:7; John 16:8), but it also operated in and among Christians to teach, correct and guide them into truth (Matthew 18:15; 1 Timothy 5:20; Revelation 3:19).

  1. The Holy Spirit also will speak to God’s people about sin, the righteousness of Christ and the judgment of evil in order to (a) develop within them a Christlike character and a desire to live by His standard of right and wrong (2 Corinthians 3:18), (b) guide them in their understanding of and ability to live by the truth and (c) honor Christ through their lives (John 16:14). In these ways, the Holy Spirit works within Christ’s followers to develop and reflect Christ’s holiness (moral purity, spiritual wholeness, separation from evil and dedication to God) in their lives. 
  2. If Spirit-filled Christians reject the Spirit’s guidance and convicting work (John 16:8), and if they do not “by the Spirit … put to death the misdeeds of the body” (Romans 8:13), then they are setting themselves against God and will be judged for that choice. Only those who receive and respond to the truth and are “led by the Spirit of God” are true “sons [or daughters] of God” (Romans 8:14), who are able to experience the benefits of the Spirit’s life within them (Ephesians 5:18). Sin (opposition, resistance and rebellion against God) hinders and destroys the life and work of the Holy Spirit within the believer (Romans 6:23; 8:13; Galatians 5:17-18; Ephesians 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:19-20).

CONVICT THE WORLD / JOHN 16:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 16:8

 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

CONVICT THE WORLD / JOHN 16:8

The Holy Spirit’s main role with respect to promoting the message of Christ is to “convict the world.” The term “convict” (Greek elencho) means to expose, refute and convince. 

  1. The Spirit’s work of convicting operated in three areas. (a) Sin. The Holy Spirit will expose sin and unbelief in order to awaken in an individual a consciousness of guilt and a need for forgiveness. Conviction also makes clear the tragic results of rejecting Christ and persisting in sin (going our own way apart from God). After experiencing the Spirit’s conviction, each person must make a choice about Christ. The hope is that this leads to true repentance and a turning to Jesus as Savior and Lord – the forgiver of one’s sins and the Leader of one’s life (Acts 2:37-38). (b) Righteousness. The Spirit convinces the spirit of a person that Jesus is the Son of God who came and showed the right way to God. He reveals that a right relationship with God does not depend on our own good works or efforts, but on Christ’s death on the cross for our sins. If we accept His forgiveness and turn over the rule of our lives to Him, His Spirit will empower us to do what is right by God’s standards and to overcome the ungodly ways and temptations of the world (Acts 3:12-16; 7:51-60; 17:31; 1 Peter 3:18). (c)Judgment. The Spirit convinces people of Satan’s defeat, which Christ secured and guaranteed by His death on the cross for our sin (John 12:31; 16:11). The Spirit also makes people aware of God’s present judgment of the world (Romans 1:18-32) and the future judgment of the entire human race, including each individual’s personal accountability to God (Matthew 16:27; Acts 17:31; 24:25; Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 6:2; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Jude 1:14).
  2. The Spirit’s work of convicting people of sin, righteousness and judgment will be evident in all who are baptized in the Holy Spirit (“filled” with the Spirit and consumed by His power) and are truly living as Spirit-filled believers. Christ Himself, filled with the Spirit (Luke 4:1-2), testified to the world that “what it does is evil” (John 7:6-7; John 15:18) and called people to repent and turn to God (Matthew 4:17). John the Baptist, “filled with the Holy Spirit” from birth (Luke 1:15), exposed the sin of the Jewish people and commanded them to change their ways (Matthew 11:7; Luke 3:1-20). Peter, “filled with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:4), preached a message that convinced 3,000 people of their sin and guilt, calling them to turn from their sin and receive God’s forgiveness (Acts 2:37-41).
  3. Any minister or church that is afraid to expose sin and call for repentance (a change of attitude toward God that causes a person to turn from sin and to surrender to God’s purposes) and godly living is not directed by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25 clearly states that God’s presence in a congregation will expose the sin of unbelievers (secrets of their hearts, their God-defying ways) so that they can experience the Spirit’s conviction and Christ’s salvation.

IF I GO I WILL SEND HIM / JOHN 16:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 16:7

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

IF I GO I WILL SEND HIM / JOHN 16:7

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit (when God would generously send His Spirit to fill, give power and live through His followers) would occur only after Christ left the earth (Acts 2:33). This first outpouring took place on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). The events of that day marked the beginning of the age of the Spirit.

THEY WILL PERSECUTE YOU ALSO / JOHN 15:20

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:20

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

THEY WILL PERSECUTE YOU ALSO / JOHN 15:20

While Christ’s followers are in this world, they will be hated, rejected and even persecuted for their faith and trust in Him. The world (the people in the world that do not follow Christ and the world system that is opposed to God) has been an enemy of Christ and God’s people throughout history.

  1. True Christians must understand that the world – including false religious organizations and groups – will always oppose God, His truth and the principles of His kingdom. These enemies of God will reject, oppose and persecute His faithful followers until the end (James 4:4; Matthew 5:10).
  2. The reason Christians suffer at the hands of the world is because they are different; they do not follow the typical ways of the world because they do not “belong to the world” and have come “out of the world” (John 15:19). The values, standards, behaviors, lifestyles and ultimate goals of Christ’s true followers are in conflict with the ungodly ways of their corrupt society. They refuse to compromise with its ungodly standards, and instead set their “minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2).

GO AND BEAR FRUIT / JOHN 15:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:16

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

GO AND BEAR FRUIT / JOHN 15:16

Disciples (followers, students, learners) in Jesus’ day usually chose the particular rabbi, or teacher, who they wanted to follow. But Jesus chose His inner core of disciples, and for a purpose – to “bear fruit” (John 15:2; John 15:4-5; John 15:8). All Christ’s followers have that purpose. This fruit-bearing refers to 

  1. Spiritual values and godly character, such as the fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Ephesians 5:9; Colossians 1:6; Hebrews 12:11; James 3:18). 
  2. Working for the spiritual salvation of others who do not yet have a personal relationship with Christ (John 4:36; John 12:23-24; John 15:1).

ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH / JOHN 15:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:7

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH / JOHN 15:7

Receiving answers to our prayers is in direct relation to remaining personally connected to Christ and His Word. It is impossible to have a spiritually productive prayer life apart from knowing, believing and living by Christ’s teachings. As we grow in our relationship with Him through studying and applying His Word, the more our prayers will be in line with Christ’s desires and purposes and the more effective our prayers will be (John 14:13; John 15:4; Psalms 66:18; Matthew 7:7-8).

LIKE A BRANCH THAT IS THROWN AWAY / JOHN 15:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:6

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

LIKE A BRANCH THAT IS THROWN AWAY / JOHN 15:6

This symbolic word picture of the vine and branches makes it very clear that a person can be cut off from the “true vine” (Jesus) if he or she does not personally choose to stay connected to the “true vine.” The Lord never taught that once we are saved, we would always remain saved. Rather, Jesus gave His disciples a solemn but loving warning of the fact that it is possible for true believers to abandon their faith, turn their backs on Jesus and fail to remain in a relationship with Him. As a result, they are cut off and will be thrown into the fire of hell. 

  1. This passage teaches one of the most basic principles about the saving relationship between Christ and those who believe in Him. One’s relationship with Jesus is never static (passive or unchanging); it is either growing or dying – strengthening or declining. A follower of Christ cannot rely on a past decision or experience to keep him or her connected to Christ. A truly committed relationship with Jeus must continually be progressing and developing as God’s Spirit lives in the believer and shares Christ’s life with him or her (John 17:3; Colossians 3:4; 1 John 5:11; 1 John 5:12; 1 John 5:13).
  2. This illustration teaches three important truths: (a) Though no outside circumstances of forces can remove true believers from God’s hand (John 10:28-29), it is still their responsibility to stay devoted to Christ and not remove themselves from His purpose and care (John 15:4). They must continually choose to remain in a vital and well-connected relationship with Him – a relationship that began when they received Christ’s forgiveness and new life. (b) Remaining in Christ results in Jesus continually living in and through His followers (John 15:4), spiritual fruitfulness (John 15:5), effective prayer (John 15:7) and a fulfilling sense of joy (John 15:11). (c)The consequences of failing to remain in Christ are fruitlessness (John 15:4-5), removal from Christ and personal destruction (John 15:2; John 15:6).

REMAIN IN ME / JOHN 15:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:4

 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

REMAIN IN ME / JOHN 15:4

After a person accepts Christ and is forgiven, he or she receives the gift of eternal life, which centers on a personal relationship with Christ (John 17:3) and includes the power of the Holy Spirit to sustain and develop that relationship. Given that power, a Christian must then accept responsibility to stay spiritually connected to and dependent on Christ. The Greek word meno means to remain, continue or live. Just as the branch has life only as long as the vine’s life flows into it, so believers have true life only as long as Christ’s life flows into them through an active and vital relationship with Him. The conditions which keep us connected to Christ include:

  1. Spending time reading and studying God’s Word so that His truth gets into our minds and hearts and continually serves as a guide for our actions (John 15:7). 
  2. Maintaining a positive habit of prayer, which involves listening to Jesus and drawing strength from Him (John 15:7).
  3. Obeying His commands, which demonstrates true love for Christ (John 15:10) and includes loving each other (John 15:12, 17). 
  4. Keeping our lives spiritually clean by remaining in God’s Word, resisting temptation and following the Holy Spirit’s direction (John 15:3; 17:17; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:16-25; Ephesians 5:26; 1 Peter 1:22).

EVERY BRANCH / JOHN 15:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:2

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

EVERY BRANCH / JOHN 15:2

Jesus speaks of two categories of branches: fruitless and fruitful.

  1. The branches that never produce or that quit producing fruit are those who no longer have the spiritual life in them that comes from enduring faith in and love for Christ. These “branches” the Father finally cuts off. This means that they are separated from a life-giving relationship with Christ (Matthew 3:10). Branches that are out of contact with, or disconnected from, the vine are lifeless and useless so far as producing fruit. As a result, God judges and rejects them (John 15:6).
  2. The branches that produce fruit are those who have life in them because of their enduring faith in and love for Christ. These “branches” the Father prunes, or trims, so that they will grow better and become more fruitful. This means that God removes from their lives anything that takes away from their devotion to Christ or hinders their life-giving connection to Him. This can often be an uncomfortable or painful process of discipline and challenge. But the end result is the sweet fruit of Christian character that brings honor and glory to Jesus through a godly life and witness (Matthew 3:8; Matthew 7:20; Romans 6:22; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9; Philippians 1:11).

WE WILL … MAKE OUR HOME WITH HIM / JOHN 14:23

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 14:23

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

WE WILL … MAKE OUR HOME WITH HIM / JOHN 14:23

Those who truly love Jesus and obey His words will experience the love and presence of the Father and the Son in a very real and powerful way. The Father and the Son come to believers and reveal their power and purposes by means of the Holy Spirit (John 14:18). Notice that the Father’s loving care is conditional on our love for Jesus and loyalty to His Word.
