SPIRIT OF TRUTH.

"Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship Him. God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him must worship with spirit and truth."  (John 4:23,24).

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.
"But do not trust any and every spirit, my friends; test the spirits, to see whether they are from God, for among those who have gone out into the world there are many prophets falsely inspired... But you, my children, are of God's family, and you have the mastery over these false prophets, because He who inspires you is greater than he who inspires the Godless world. They are of that world, and so therefore is their teaching; that is why the world listens to them. But we belong to God, and a man who knows God listens to us, while he who does not belong to God refuses us a hearing. That is how we distinguish the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error."  (From 1 John 4:1 & 4-6 NEB).

"If you love me, you will observe my commandments; and I will request the Father, and He will give you another helper to be with you forever, the Spirit of the truth, which the world cannot receive, because it neither beholds it nor knows it. You know it, because it remains with you and is in you."  (John 14:15-17).

"…You are on the spiritual level, if only God's Spirit dwells within you; and if a man does not possess the Spirit of Christ, he is no Christian... For all who are moved by the Spirit of God are sons of God."  (From Rom 8:9 & 14 NEB).

"Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them."  (Matt 5:3).

LIVING BY THE SPIRIT.
Christ said:
"It is the Spirit that is life-giving; the flesh is of no use at all. The sayings that I have spoken to you are Spirit and are life."  (John 6:63).

"This is His command: to give our allegiance to His Son Jesus Christ and love one another as He commanded. When we keep His commands we dwell in Him and He dwells in us. And this is how we can make sure that He dwells within us:  we know it from the Spirit He has given us."  (1 John 3:23,24 NEB).

"I mean this: if you are guided by the Spirit you will not fulfil the desires of your lower nature. That nature sets its desires against the Spirit, while the Spirit fights against it."  (From Gal 5:16,17 NEB).

"Make no mistake about this: God is not to be fooled; a man reaps what he sows. If  he  sows seed in the field of his lower nature, he will reap from it a harvest of corruption, but if he sows in the field of the Spirit, the Spirit will bring him a harvest of eternal life. So let us never tire of doing good, for if we do not slacken our efforts we shall in due time reap our harvest."  (Gal 6:7-9 NEB).

"But the harvest of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law dealing with such things as these."  (Gal 5:22,23 NEB).
