Know it All...

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14:26

Each person who has called out to God the Father for eternal salvation, and means it, is saved from eternal damnation by the work of the gospel provided through Jesus Christ.  When a person asks for salvation, they receive the Holy Spirit of God.  The Spirit indwells the believer to teach and guide until we are called home to be with our Heavenly Father.

The thing that sticks out to me in John 14:26 is the phrase “…He will teach you all things…”  I have always had to try harder than most to accomplish anything academically.  After being dismissed from the University twice for scholastic probation as a young man, I returned while in my thirties and earned a place on the Dean’s list three of the four semesters I was enrolled.  I discovered that prior to ANYONE teaching you ANYTHING, there first must be a willingness to LEARN.  When we get to the place  when we feel we know it all, watch out!
