Only God teaches us the words of righteousness. Only God teaches us words of truth. Only God teaches us words of life. Only God teaches us words of hope. Only God teaches us words of salvation. God has given us His Word, the Bible, for these instructions. Those who trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have also been given the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our on-site 24-7 teacher. He not only teaches, but also brings to our remembrance what He has taught us when we need these teachings.
John 14:26 says, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” The teaching that we must listen to is the instruction of the Holy Spirit according to God’s Word. When we are reading God’s Word, we must ask, “What is the Holy Spirit saying to me?” And, “What should I do now according to God’s Word?”
