Why is the Holy Spirit called the Comforter?

Answered in 2 sources

The Holy Spirit is called the Comforter because He provides guidance, teaching, and comfort to believers in their spiritual journey.

The title 'Comforter' for the Holy Spirit stems from Jesus’ promise in John 14:26, where He notes that the Spirit will teach and remind believers of all that He has spoken. The work of the Holy Spirit is essential in applying the truths of Scripture to the hearts of God's people, just as Naomi sought rest for Ruth. The Spirit leads believers back to Christ, revealing His grace and mercy while empowering them to persevere in faith, akin to how Naomi guided Ruth toward Boaz.
