John 16: 13,14,15
Nevertheless, when the Spirit of Truth is come, He will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify me; for He shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine; therefore said I that He shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
The third manifestation of Truth is the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth. He was named this by JESUS, who is the first manifestation of Truth and is Truth Himself. We see in verse 15 a very important statement of the Trinity and how they function. First, The Father has "all things" and has given them to the Son, JESUS. In verse 14 we find that the Holy Spirit "shows" all things to people. To repeat simply, The Father gives to the Son and the Holy Spirit shows to us what the Father has. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are ONE GOD.
The Holy Spirit only speaks what He hears from JESUS and JESUS only does what the Father does. The Father is all Truth, the Son is the Word of Truth and the Holy Spirit speaks the Truth. It remains for us to HEAR THE TRUTH. We can only hear the Truth if we LISTEN TO GOD. Then we must OBEY HIM.
HEAR, LISTEN, BELIEVE AND OBEY.
