The Holy Spirit

“Another Comforter.”
— John 14:16

“When a man is not filled with the Spirit of God, who gives force to the truth in his heart and clearness to his moral vision, the seductive power of the enemy dazzles his imagination. He loves the marvellous, unbelieving as he may be with regard to the truth. He lacks holy discernment, because he is ignorant of the holiness and character of God, and has not the stability of a soul that possesses the knowledge of God … as his treasure — of a soul which knows that it has all in Him and needs no other marvels.”
