First Example
Through Confirmation I was enriched with the strength of the Holy Spirit. In doing so, this allows me to be a better witness to Christ and the proclamation of his truths. Through confirmation, my strengths and membership in the Church were also strengthened. I also received the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts allow me to work alongside my fellow Church members to better not only the common good, but myself as well.

Second Example
Through the Holy Spirit, one can also be “spiritually renewed”. Through this renewal, he is now prepared “for a life in the will of God. The believer has (1) a new nature, (2) the life of God in him, (3) a vital relationship to God and to other believers in the baptism of the Spirit, and (4) the presence of God in his body and consciousness.” These benefits, all together ultimately allow for the believer to live his or her life in such a way that aligns with moral standards.
