"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name-He will teach you all things!" John 14:26

The Holy Spirit is the Teacher of the church. To Him the promise refers, "All Your children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children."

He taught the apostles all things necessary for their office and work.

He teaches the true ministers of Christ, leading them into the truth as it is in Jesus.

And He teaches every believer, all that is really necessary for him to know!

The Bible is the lesson-book,
the believer is the scholar,
the blessed Spirit is the teacher, and
experimental religion is the education!

No one teaches like Him!
He teaches us . . .
  gradually,
  silently, and
  always effectually!
For only what the Spirit teaches us, do we really know!

He teaches us . . .
  what God requires in His Word,
  what He has provided in His Gospel;
  what Christ is to His people,
  what His people are to Him.

His teaching makes practical Christians, for He always teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present world!
