Life Application
Consider these questions:
- Am I spending time with God in prayer?
- Am I regularly reading God’s Word?
- Am I connected to a local church?

Looking Ahead
Session 8 — The Holy Spirit
The Helper, Comforter, and Guide
In the next session, we will learn about the Holy Spirit and His work in the life of every believer.
We will discover:
- Who the Holy Spirit is
- His role in salvation
- How He helps believers grow
- How He guides, teaches, and empowers God’s people
- What it means to walk in the Spirit
As followers of Christ, we are not left to live the Christian life in our own strength. God has given us His Holy Spirit to dwell within us, transform us, and help us walk faithfully with Christ.
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things…” (John 14:26)
The Christian life is not lived by human effort alone—it is lived through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.
