The Holy Spirit, because He is a person, guides us into truth and authenticity in how we live our lives. The truth Jesus refers to in John 16:13 is the ultimate truth of the Gospel, but it is also the authenticity that is meant to mark our lives. The Apostle Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit. This has the idea that we are not to try to stop what God’s Spirit is trying to do in us.
