John 14: 17: "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." The Lord Jesus does not say that the world would not receive the Spirit of truth. He says the world cannot receive Him. Oh, if you could learn this! The Spirit of God can take the Word of God and open it to the believer, but the unsaved man must first believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. The man of the world cannot see Him because He is seen and worshiped in spirit and truth. He is seen with the spiritual eye, not the natural one. Salvation is a supernatural act, never forget this. It is only by the Spirit of God that these eyes and ears can be opened to understand the Word of God. The Holy Spirit is the teacher to lead and guide you into all spiritual truth. Without Him, the Bible becomes a book of history, a book of stories. The Holy Spirit teaches the truths of the Bible. The Holy Spirit has been in the world, but Jesus says that now He “shall be in you.” That will make the Word of God become alive to you.
