The Spirit as Illuminator

Commentators emphasize that the Holy Spirit's primary role is to teach and remind believers of what Jesus has already said. Charles Spurgeon strongly notes that the Spirit does not reveal new doctrines, as the canon of Scripture is closed. Instead, He illuminates the existing Word, helping us understand its deep meaning and applying it to our hearts. This was the basis for the apostles' inspired writings.
