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.

One of the most challenging concepts for Christians to comprehend, accept and apply is the concept of forgiveness. We are most happy to accept God’s forgiveness of us but we are often very reluctant to extend forgiveness to others. Without a thorough understanding of the idea of forgiveness, both God’s forgiveness of us, and our responsibility to forgive one another, it is almost a sure thing that we will find ourselves stuck in spiritual rut.

This paper will highlight the significance of the believer’s forgiveness of sins committed against him and its relationship to the ongoing process of experiential sanctification. A refusal to engage in interpersonal forgiveness will result in the believer living perpetually out of fellowship with God. ...
