John 7 - CSB Spurgeon Study Bible

7:37-39 “Jesus stood up and cried out, ‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.’ He said this about the Spirit.” We who are believers have the most forcible reasons to hold the Holy Spirit in the highest regard, for what would we be without him? He gave us understanding that we might know the truth. He awakened our consciences, convicting us of sin. He gave us a hatred of sin and led us to repent. He taught us to believe and made us see Jesus, the Son of God. The Spirit has worked in us faith and love and hope and every grace. There is not a jewel on the neck of our souls that he did not place there.

Who has comforted us in our distresses, directed us in our perplexities, strengthened us in our weaknesses, and helped us in our infirmities in ten thousand ways? Is it not the Comforter whom the Father has sent in Jesus’s name? Can I speak too highly of the riches of his grace toward us?
