Life in the Spirit | Smith Wigglesworth Study Guide

As people turn to the Lord, the veil is lifted and the Spirit transforms them into Christ’s likeness.

A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries

What does life in the Spirit look like in 2 Corinthians 3?

As people turn to the Lord, the veil is lifted and the Spirit transforms them into Christ’s likeness.

Read the passage in context

Wigglesworth sets his teaching beside Paul’s contrast between the old covenant ministry and the Spirit’s work, then presses readers toward ongoing spiritual growth.

From the passage to daily life

Verse 18 describes a continuing transformation. Read its language slowly and ask what happens to a person who repeatedly turns toward the Lord.

Discussion and reflection

How Wigglesworth influenced Vince Baker

Vince Baker came to Christ on July 9 at age 17. For his July 26 birthday, his grandmother gave him Albert Hibbert’s Smith Wigglesworth: The Secret of His Power.

Vince recalls that God spoke to him as he read about Wigglesworth’s life and ministry. The book shaped his own walk with God and the way he teaches about faith, prayer, and yielding to the Holy Spirit.
