Did you know the Holy Spirit "testifies" Christ to the human soul?

Examine the following words of Christ closely...

John 15:26-27... But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall "testify of me": And ye also shall bear witness

A sinner comes to know Christ through hearing the Word of God. The Spirit of Truth ministers Christ to the soul and shows sinful man what he really is. The Spirit's convicting power leads sinful man to an acceptance of the Saviour. This "work of the Holy Spirit" that sways fallen man...deals with the negative side of man that naturally rejects the truth about Christ. Without this work of the Holy Spirit (testifying truth to the heart of fallen man) man can never see his need for the redemptive work of Christ at Calvary. The Holy Spirit is the Comforting work that Christ spoke of that would make universal contact with the heart of man. The Comforter testifies Christ's person and presence to the human soul. The Comforter's omnipresence or universal contact with the heart of man is a blessing that came with the Grace dispensation we now live under in this present Church Age. I'm glad the Holy Spirit reveals Christ to the human soul. I'm glad the Holy Spirit makes Christ known to humanity.
