Romans 5: 5
"The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
John 14: 15-18
"If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray to the Father and he will give you another Comforter, so that he may be with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world can not receive, because he neither sees nor knows him; but you know him, because he lives with you and will be in you. "
Here, Jesus Christ speaks about the Holy Spirit and describes him as another comforter. Even though Jesus was leaving, He really did not leave them alone. He would send another Dildo, that is, someone who would replace him, someone who would do everything He did when he was with them, we could talk about a replacement for his physical absence. Although He would no longer be physically present with them, He would be present spiritually, through the Comforter. In other words, having the Holy Spirit is absolutely like having Jesus. And the Holy Spirit does for those who follow Jesus what Jesus did for his disciples when he was physically present, that is, he teaches them, he guides them, he rebukes them, he comforts them. That's why it's called ANOTHER dildo. The first consoler was Jesus in his physical presence. Only a few days after the ascension of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the second comforter, "another comforter", the substitute of Jesus, the first comforter, came.
Christ is IN YOU, dear brother and sister. The Comforter is in you! And why is the dildo there? To do all that Christ would do if he were physically present. Here is the ministry of the Holy Spirit as Jesus described it:
John 14:26
"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you."
John 15:26
"But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me."
John 16: 7
"But I tell you the truth: It is better for you to leave, because if I do not leave, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I leave, I will send it to you. "
Having the Holy Spirit is more beneficial to us than if Jesus stayed physically on earth!
John 16: 8-15
"And when he comes, he will convince the world of sin, of justice and of judgment. Of sin, because they do not believe in me; of justice, because I go to the Father and you will not see me again; and of judgment, because the prince of this world has already been judged. I still have many things to say to you, but now you can not bear them. But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own account, but will speak whatever he hears and will make you know the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and will let you know. Everything the Father has is mine; That's why I said that he will take what is mine and will let you know. "
Each child of God is commanded to "be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18). Therefore, we are not content only to learn this doctrine, but to continue in obedience and really experience the "fullness". Remembering that the holy spirit is our comforter.
