The Holy Spirit as Converter

My flatmate and I were discussing her cat, Zeus, and whether he was putting on weight.

I picked Zeus up and said, "He seems fine to me."

"He's about 6 kilos?" she said.

"I don't know what kilos are," I said.

"I don't know what stones are," she said.

It got me thinking about the Bible.

Trying to understand the Bible is rather like having a "kilos" mentality and trying to understand it in "stones." The only way to understand it is by using a converter. The Holy Spirit is the Converter and He will help you understand what you're reading. However, in order to have access to the Holy Spirit, you need to be saved i.e. have received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Jesus has promised that He will pray for the Father to give us the Holy Spirit as our Helper, who will live in all believers forever.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for being my eternal Converter. ❤️
