What does the Bible say about the Holy Spirit's comfort?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible promises that the Holy Spirit, referred to as the Comforter, will come to believers to provide comfort and assurance in their times of need (John 14:18).
In John 14:18, Jesus promises His disciples, 'I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.' This assurance extends beyond the immediate context of His disciples to all believers throughout the ages. The promise includes the arrival of the Holy Spirit, who is sent as the Comforter to dwell within the hearts of God's people. The Comforter helps believers navigate life’s trials, providing a profound peace and reassurance that their sins are forgiven and that they are loved by God. This promise is vital as it reassures Christians that they are never alone; the Holy Spirit actively comforts and guides them through their spiritual journey.
