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.

Tuesday, July 23, 2024
by Robert Dean
Series: Interlocked (2023)
Duration: 1 hr 0 mins 9 secs

Last week we heard about how our actions bring on much of our own suffering. Tonight we're going to hear about several categories of undeserved suffering and how God uses them for our benefit. For unbelievers, God uses suffering as a wake-up call to turn them to faith in Christ. For believers, this suffering can motivate us to spiritual growth. We need to remember that we are being observed by others when we suffer to see if we are trusting God and are joyful.
