| Not right or wrong, is the POWER to LIVE |

1:8 I baptized you in water; But he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
LAB comments: John said Jesus would baptize them with the Holy Spirit, sending the Holy Spirit to live within each believer. John's baptism with water prepared a person to receive Christ's message. This baptism demonstrated repentance, humility, and willingness to turn from sin. This was the beginning of the spiritual process.
When Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit, however, the entire person is transformed by the Spirit's power. Jesus offers to us both forgiveness of sin and the POWER to LIVE for him.
My comments: We receive this power by asking Jesus, "Lord Jesus, please baptize me with the Holy Spirit, thank you!" Yield ourselves to the Lord, allow Him to live through us from moment to moment. Constantly abiding in His Word.
