The Savior teaches his children
about what the Holy Ghost does and what the disciples must do to receive the
Holy Ghost. In John 14: 15-17, it is taught that I need to keep the
commandments to receive the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost abides within you
forever and he is a comforter. He only testifies of truth. Since he dwells
within us, we need to keep our bodies a sacred temple. Verse 26 explains that
the spirit will teach us all things and bring the things we have learned to remembrance.
John 15: 26-27 explains that he is a testifier. He will testify of the father
when people are seeking to find this truth. John 16: 7-8 explain that it is
expedient that the Lord goes away from us so we can receive the Holy Ghost.
This means that we will never be alone and we will have a constant
companion. The Bible dictionary explains
the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead. He is personage of Spirit and
has not yet received a body of flesh and bones. He has been on Earth since
every dispensation of the Gospel and first being Adam. The spirit has manifested
by the power of the Holy Ghost and the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost has blessed me
greatly in my life. Something that is really important to me is when he testifies
of truth as well as bringing things to remembrance. This has helped me
throughout my entire education. I always knew the difference between false
doctrine and things of the Lord. I have always tried to get good grades and
remembering what I learn during a test is a huge blessing. Before a test, I
feel as if I forgot everything I learned. For every test I have prepared for,
the spirit always enlightens me which makes me feel so happy and stress free. I
know that whenever I seek his comfort, I receive it.
