4. He would be easily identifiable as “The Spirit of truth” (Cf. John 15:26).

5. He will testify or bear witness concerning Jesus (Cf. John 15:26).

6. He will convict the world of sin (Cf. John 16:8-11).

7. He will not speak of His own authority (Cf. John 16:13a).

8. He will reveal things to come (Cf. John 16:13b).
