S- So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us. I am writing you these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray. But you have received the Holy Spirit and he lives within you so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know and what he teaches is true it is not a lie. So, just as he has taught you remain in fellowship with Christ.
O - There's plenty out there to lead us astray, but this passage tells me that even those who have little or no access to God's Word have the Holy Spirit to direct them in truth.
A - I need to be even more appreciative of the many copies of the bible I have and put into action memorizing so that when I don't have it in front of me the Spirit can bring to mind what I've learned and direct me in truth.
P - Thank you for all the privileges you given me Lord, freedom to go to the church I want, many Bibles and commentaries to read from, and the internet. Help me to not take your Word or the Holy Spirit for granted. Help me to listen to the truth that the Spirit is leading me to.
