John 14:16 AMPC‬ And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–

When we make Jesus Lord over our lives, we’re gifted with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). As we can see from John 14:16, the Holy Spirit remains with us (believers) forever.

There is teaching out there that says we can lose the Holy Spirit through sin. They say when we live right, He’s with us, but if we sin, He leaves. My question to them is how much sin does a person have to commit before the Holy Spirit departs from us?

When Jesus said forever, that means forever. The Holy Spirit is not coming and going based on our behavior. He’s remaining based on the word and the promise of Jesus. Who else is tapping us on our shoulder informing us to be kinder to the waitress, more patient with our children, or to discipline our flesh? It has and it will always be the Holy Spirit.

He’s not leaving us. Not now, not ever.
