God is our teacher. By HIS Spirit we are taught all things of God.
II Timothy 1:12-14 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that HE is able to keep that which I have committed unto HIM against that day.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

It is God who chose us to salvation to be the elect of God. It is God who changed us into a new creature after we were born again and God who gave us His Holy Spirit to live in us and created us in HIS own image. God causes us to live in peace, love, joy, and in all the fruits of that Holy Spirit of God.
Gal. 5:22-23 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
As we follow the Holy Spirit of God, these fruits of the Spirit manifest themselves in us and we end up fulfilling the law of God as we walk on this earth.

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as HE hath chosen us in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS will,
6 To the praise of the glory of HIS grace, wherein HE hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In WHOM we have redemption through HIS blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of HIS grace;
8 Wherein HE hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of HIS will, according to HIS good pleasure which HE hath purposed in Himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times HE might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in HIM:
11 In WHOM also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of HIM who worketh all things after the counsel of HIS own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of HIS glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In WHOM ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in WHOM also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of HIS glory.

God is our teacher, revealing spiritual things to us by HIS Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
I John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of HIM abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in HIM.
28 And now, little children, abide in HIM; that, when HE shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before HIM at HIS coming.
29 If ye know that HE is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of HIM.

The Holy Spirit searches the heart of God to reveal the will of God to us.
I Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Jesus says:
John 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.
John 16:13 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 (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
The Holy Spirit brings ideas, concepts, scriptures to our minds to show us the will of God in the specific issues of this present life with which we are dealing.
And we follow HIM.
And when we follow Him, doing as God shows us through HIS Spirit, we shall never perish for when we follow HIM we are HIS sheep.
Jesus says:
John 10:27 My sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of MY hand.
29 My Father, which gave them ME, is greater than all; and no (none) is able to pluck them out of MY Father's hand.
30 I and MY Father are one.
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of MY hand.
29 My Father, which gave them ME, is greater than all; and no (none) is able to pluck them out of MY Father's hand.
30 I and MY Father are one.
