Gospels Grace Ten Commandments Great Commandments Holy Spirit Christ Spirit of Truth Jesus Christ

Lesson Overview

In this week’s Gospel passage Jesus tells us that if we love Him then we will keep His commandments. Jesus will not leave us to live out the commandments on our own. He promises to send us an Advocate—the Holy Spirit—to give us the grace to live them out.
