6.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…
Activity: When you got saved, did you feel the Holy Spirit enter your life? Probably not. The
feeling of relief over having your sins forgiven was probably the greatest joy you experienced! I
have found that many people who come to Christ are elated that they have been forgiven or
have a strong desire to tell their family members how they can have their sins forgiven also.
They become instant evangelists!
What was the emotion you felt when you accepted Christ as your Savior?
The baptism of the Spirit is not a feeling, but a fact from Scripture. It takes time to realize that the Holy
Spirit is working in your life that was absent before you got saved. Feeling the Holy Spirit comes to you as
you obey Him and serve Him, not by some ecstatic experience.
