The spirit searches into all things, even the deep things of God.—1 Cor. 2:10.

The apostle Paul highlighted a vital role that the holy spirit plays when he said the words of today’s text. Indeed, Jehovah uses his holy spirit to reveal deep spiritual truths. Without this help, where would we be in our understanding of Jehovah’s purposes? (1 Cor. 2:9-12) Jesus indicated a twofold way in which the spirit would operate. Shortly before his death, he told his apostles: “The helper, the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you.” (John 14:26) The holy spirit would thus act as a teacher and as a remembrancer. As a teacher, it would help Christians grasp things not previously understood. As a remembrancer, it would help them recall and apply correctly what had been explained. w10 7/15 4:1, 2
