"The Holy Spirit is here to convict sinners and to lift up Jesus, not Himself." The Word says that the role of the Holy Spirit is to be our comforter...
Jhn 14:26 "But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
Jhn 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"
Jhn 16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
14: 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
He Teaches
14: 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things...
Note: Unless one has his/her eyes opened to spiritual realities by the Holy Spirit it is impossible to appreciate spiritual concepts and truths.
He Reminds
14:26 ... and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
He Testifies
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.
He Reproves
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
16:8: And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin,and of righteousness, and of judgment.
The Holy Spirit convicts people of sin
1 John 3:4 He will not only point out sin but He also directs people to do what is right righteousness and how to obey God.
John 16:13-14 "He will guide you into all truth ... He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me, for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
