John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

He Will Guide You into All Truth

The convicting work of the Holy Spirit is not only directed toward those who do not know Christ (John 16:7-8), but it also operated in and among Christians to teach, correct and guide them into truth (Matthew 18:15; 1 Timothy 5:20; Revelation 3:19).

The Holy Spirit also will speak to God’s people about sin, the righteousness of Christ and the judgment of evil in order to

Develop within them a Christlike character and a desire to live by His standard of right and wrong (2 Corinthians 3:18).
Guide them in their understanding of and ability to live by the truth.
Honor Christ through their lives withing Christ’s followers to develop and reflect Christ’s holiness (moral purity, spiritual wholeness, separation from evil and dedication to God) in their lives.

If Spirit-filled Christians reject the Spirit’s guidance and convicting work, and it they do not “by the Spirit … put to death the misdeeds of the body” (Romans 8:13), then they are setting themselves against God and will be judged for that choice. Only those who receive and respond to the truth and are “led by the spirit of God” are true “sons or daughters of God” (Romans 8:17), who are able to experience the benefits of the Spirit’s life within them (Ephesians 5:18). Sin (opposition, resistance, and rebellion against God) hinders and destroys the life and work of the Holy Spirit within the believer (Romans 6:23; 8:13; Galatians 5:17; Ephesians 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:19).
