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.

by Robert Dean & Mark Perkins
Passage: Philippians 1:27-4:23
Series: Philippians (2022)
Duration: 1 hr 10 mins 58 secs

Does God choose and regenerate those who will believe in Him? Listen to this lesson to learn about the false Calvinistic belief that because of man’s sin nature he is unable to make the decision to trust in Christ so must be chosen by God. Hear a number of principles that explain what faith means and that everyone has the option to believe that Christ died on the cross for them. See that after someone believes in Christ they are regenerated or born again. At the end of the lesson hear an engrossing missionary report from Tahiti on what is happening there by Mark Perkins.
