Part 2 The Comforter ... The Defense Attorney

Part 2 of The Comforter… The Defense Attorney

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." - John 16:7

"When we repent of our sins, and are baptized in Jesus name for the remission of our sins, we too can receive the Comforter –  the Spirit of Jesus in us.

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." - John 14:26

Satan does not want souls to be forgiven of their sins. This is why satan does not want people to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus: he does not want the blood of Jesus that brings forgiveness to be applied to our lives.

Satan does not want people to receive the Holy Ghost because he does not want them to have the power to resist sin and stay in God’s mercy.

Satan wants a person to pay the price of their sin. Those that have obeyed the gospel and have had their sins forgiven, he still accuses. He brings up the sins of their past and does not want to recognize that the blood of Jesus has washed away their sins.,, 

Satan is “the accuser of our brethren.”

"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night." - Revelation 12:10

The word “satan” is Hebrew for “Prosecutor.” Satan brings charges against people, accusing them of their sins.

The word “Comforter” means “Counsel for Defense.” (Thayer’s Greek Lexicon) The Comforter (the Holy Ghost/Jesus in us) defends us from the Prosecutor’s accusations.

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:" - John 15:26

The Holy Ghost – Jesus in us as the Comforter - our Counsel for Defense - "pleads the blood" reminding satan that our sins are forgiven and he has nothing to accuse us with!
