Access to All That God Has (Jn. 16:14-15)

We're continuing to read through the Gospel of John. Today's reading is John 16:1-15.

The Trinity has a giving nature.

Everything belongs to the Father, Who gives it to the Son (Jn. 16:15).

The Son gives it to the Spirit (Jn. 16:14-15).

The Spirit gives it to the believer (Jn. 16:15).

Hear the Father say this to you: "All that is mine is yours" (Lu. 15:31). See also Psa. 25:14; 84:11; Jer. 33:3; Rom. 8:32; Eph. 1:3; 2 Pet. 1:3.
