Why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be the Comforter and to guide believers in truth after His ascension.

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as a vital part of God's plan for His people after He ascended to heaven. In John 16:7, Jesus explains that it is for the disciples' benefit that He goes away because, if He does not go away, the Comforter will not come. The Holy Spirit was sent to provide guidance, teach truths, and remind believers of Jesus' words. His coming fulfilled the promise to be with believers, ensuring they would have God's presence and help as they continue in their faith journey. The Holy Spirit also empowers the church for mission, equipping it to testify about Christ and to operate according to God’s purpose in the world.
