"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
(John 16:13-15)

"And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit..." (Acts 2:4).
Jesus taught us that the Holy Spirit would come and that he would glorify Jesus.
In the Book of Acts we see the day of Pentecost - and the promise is fulfilled.
The coming of the Holy Spirit is not celebrated as a "second-coming" of God in another form, but as the provision for our very present revelation of Christ.
The Holy Spirit did not come as a replacement for Christ, but as a Revealer of Christ - to us and through us. He came to show us that the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead could live IN US! (Romans 8:11).
His coming established us as the place out of which God would operate. No longer in a Temple made of hands (Mark 14:18), or in a single flesh man, but in a many-membered Body (1 Corinthians 12:20).
If you are a member of the Body of Christ, by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8) you are a Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16) by whom Christ is revealed to and through you.
Yes. We need the Holy Spirit.
