I know this is basic information for most Christians, but verse 4 is a key verse to our faith. Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” The act of baptism is one of repentance and shows that we acknowledge our sinful nature. Baptism of the Spirit is the acceptance of the Holy Spirit in our lives and allowing Him to lead us. We are never perfect at listening and allowing ourselves to be guided by the Spirit, but there is definitely a difference in our lives after He has entered the picture. I thank God for giving me the Holy Spirit to lead me and influence my life.
