the glory of Christmas: the Comforter

the glory of Christmas: the Comforter by ric Gustafson


The Comforter is one name for the person of the Holy Spirit. Other names include the Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener and Standby. We are Christians because we received Christ Jesus as Lord. The Holy Spirit energizes us, motivates us, keeps us going, comforts us, calms us and fills our minds.
Jesus promised a Helper the Spirit of truth. Romans 8:14 says for all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. The Holy Spirit helps us in three ways. First, it helps us inwardly using the fruits of the Spirit. Second, it helps us upwardly using prayer. Third, it helps us outwardly by using God's love into our hearts.
