coming. “I tell you, it is for your good that
            I am going away. Unless I go away, the
            Advocate will not come to you; but if I go,
            I  will  send  him  to  you”  John  16:7.  The
            original  Greek  word  for  advocate  also
            means: helper, comforter, encourager, or
            counselor.

               “And when you believed in Christ,
               he  identified  you  as  his  own  by
               giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he
               promised long ago.”
               Ephesians 1:13 NLT
                The Holy Spirit witnesses to our spirit
            that we now have eternal life. “When you
            believed, you were marked in him with a
            seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a
            deposit  guaranteeing  our  inheritance”
            Ephesians 1:13-14.
                 By the Holy Spirit we know we are
            now God's children. Paul said, “The Spirit
            himself testifies with our spirit that we are
            God's children” Romans 8:16.
