Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

Scripture has seen many translations. The study of the origins of these translations is key to understanding their accuracy related to the inspired text. Here Paul presents Jesus to a Jewish audience, weaving Old Testament promises through his message which are fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Could a fuzzy translation compromise the fact that these verses are meant to be Messianic? Take a careful look at the clarity of promise in these Messianic passages. Develop the meaning of begotten, the shared natures of God and His Son, the timing of the Messiah’s reign on earth and the imagery in these passages which present Jesus as Messiah and clearly show His relationship to the Father.

If a panoramic view of history is your cup of tea, then you're going to love this lesson. Starting in eternity past, see how God created angels and learn about the subsequent fall of Satan. With God's restoration of planet Earth and the creation of mankind came the Age of the Gentiles which ended with the Tower of Babel. Continue to the Age of Israel beginning with Abraham through the coming of Christ and completed in the future Tribulation. Stop and observe the great parentheses that takes place called the Church Age where we are today and look forward to the Messianic Age and Christ's thousand year reign on the earth. Examine the unique characteristics of each dispensation that demonstrate God's loving care for mankind.
