The Holy Spirit Fills Us With Love and Understanding of the Scriptures

A.W. Tozer, writing on the Holy Spirit in the book, The Counselor, published by Moody Publishers:

The "Word of God is sweet to the Spirit-filled person because the Spirit wrote the Scriptures. You cannot read the Scriptures with a spirit of Adam, for they were inspired by the Spirit of God. The spirit of the world does not appreciate the Scriptures--it is the Spirit of God who gives appreciation of the Scriptures. One little flash of the Holy Spirit will give you more inward, divine illumination on the meaning of the text than all the commentators that ever commented. Yes, I have commentaries--I am just trying to show you that if you have everything else and have not the fullness of the Spirit, you have nothing." A.W. Tozer



"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you  know Him because He abides with you and will be in you." Jesus, speaking in John 14:16-17
