The Holy Spirit was sent to from God to us to be our guide. The Holy Spirit gives us many gifts such as understanding, right judgment, courage, knowledge, reverence, wonder and awe, and wisdom.
Great answer! Well done for mentioning the different gifts of the Holy Spirit!

Well done Elisa!

Well done Rafael! How did the Holy Spirit give people hope and strength?
It changes people’s lives by letting them know about the good news
I think that the Holy Spirit changed peoples lives by encouraging people to be like Jesus and to spread the Good News. The Holy Spirit encouraged them to do this by coming down from heaven and landing on the disciples’ heads.
Good, how can we spread the Good News today?
Hello Miss Lee,
The Holy spirit can change peoples lives because it can make them better by spreading the good news because when they had the fire on top of their heads on pentecost ,the holy spirit in gave them the power to speak in much more different languages and god will be proud of you spreading the good news!
Hello Raimundo!
Great ideas, how can we spread the Good News today?
Hi miss Lee!
This is the answer for my…
THE BIG QUESTION!
Religious education:
I your heart is a new life and new love. You make new friends and
you make yourself a better person. The Holy Spirit just makes you happierThe Holy Spirit brings a new life and fellowship to you. You may live with hard problems but if you turn to God, he may fulfill you with the Holy Spirit. You might not know, that it is happening though really God has shown you the kindness and made you to use it without noticing to arrange your problems.
At Pentecost,when the disciples had flames upon their heads, they were saying the good news of Jesus’s resurrection. In the Bible it has a piece of scripture called we can’t keep quiet. Comparing to everyday life you might need to get quiet. However, you don’t need to stop being kind. You can say, “we can’t stop kindness.”
Never doubt on not comparing the Bible to everyday life.
When Peter and John spread the good news to the people of Nazareth, they were extremely happy. You can spread good news and make people happy by…
You can spread the good news by saying something to encourage people like, “Together through Christ we grow and learn.”or “team work makes dream work.
Being kind can be being generous, helpful, including and even smiling a lot!
Great answer Stella! You’re right, that passage in the Bible teaches us that sometimes, it might be easier to stay quiet but we must trust in God and always stand up and speak out to show kindness.
For example of we see others being unkind to someone, it might be easier to not say anything because we might be afraid that they will be unkind to us, but we must always help and spread the Good News but teaching others how to be kind!
Smiling a lot is a great way to be kind to people!
The Holy Spirit changes people’s lives, because of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit gave us flames on top of our heads, and then the disciples kept on spreading the good news,it was 50 days after Jesus resurrected from the dead , so that’s why we live in perfect fellowship. Because of Pentecost.
Well done for including the keywords in your answer Amarissa!
Since the Resurrection of Jesus the disciples were locked in a room and then fire descended on their heads. It was the Holy Spirit sent by God. This changed their life and changes our life because we will be happy and full of love.
When the disciples had the Holy Spirit on their head there was also the message of sharing the Good News, that tells us how nice God has been to us. After they got the message they spoke different languages and that was after the Pentecost. Their fellowship is what we should imitate today.
A lovely answer Paolo, well done for using some keywords! It is wonderful to always remember the gift of the Holy Spirit brings us happiness and love!
The holy spirit changed peoples lives by understanding the good news. The holy spirit is with us even though Jesus is in heaven he is in our hearts. It makes us happy and joyful.
Good answer Martin, you’re right, knowing that the Holy Spirit is a gift helps us to to be joyful!
When the Holy Spirit came to the disciples (excluding Judas) they changed because they felt more faithful and they had a full belief in Jesus and God, because they knew he was always with them, even though he had died on the cross. They also knew that they could spread his love and the Good News of Jesus to those who didn’t know. For people today this means that if a family member has passed away we still know that they are with us and are up in heaven being looked after and cared by God and Jesus. And we also know that God and Jesus are with us 24/7.
A great answer Lucy! And it is always lovely to remember that God and Jesus look after all of us, thank you for sharing.
Hello Miss Lee,?
The Holy Spirit changes people’s lives by giving them the good news in their lives.
Pentecost is the time when the deciples were sad because Jesus died. Then the Holy Spirit came down from Heaven. It changed the deciples lives because it made them feel closer to God. It also gave them the feeling Jesus was still with them.?
Jesus Christ was crucified, died on the cross, on the third day he rose again and He ascended to heaven. In Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came down from heaven in tongues of fire over the disciples making them speak different languages. It has given them the courage and the strength to spread the Good News to all the people even to those that don’t believe them. They were able to heal the sick. The Holy Spirit is the gift from God and by repenting our sins, will give us a new life. It also enables us to live a righteous and faithful life.
The Holy Spirit is a good spirit, helping us to do great things even if their life feels small. God is the father, the son and the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit is not God and so on… This is called the Holy Trinity. It is like making the sign of the cross and basically we do it everyday.
At the Pentecost, it is the Resurrection of the Holly Spirit. He brings good news, good life and fellowship.
