Lesson 2: The Holy Spirit's Relationship with You
Objective: To understand the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. Read: Romans 12:1-8, I Corinthians 2
Memorize: Ephesians 5:18
 What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

The moment you receive Christ, you are regenerated, indwelt, sealed, baptized, and filled with the Holy Spirit. As a result, you have the potential to live a life of victory over sin and witness in the power of the Holy Spirit. This potential is released by faith as you surrender control of you life to Him.

In this lesson, you will see how the Holy Spirit can work in your life and the results you can expect as you yield yourself to His control.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

2.) Explain in your own words what the Holy Spirit does for the Christian according to the following verses. (Romans 8:16, Romans 8:26-27)

The Results of Being Filled with the Holy Spirit

1.) Can a person be a Christian and not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him? (Romans 8:9) Explain.

2.) What is the main reason to be filled with the Holy Spirit? (Acts 1:8, Acts 4:29,31)

3.) What work of the Holy Spirit is necessary for successful Christian living and service? (Ephesians 5:18)

Life Application
