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.

Duration: 1 hr 1 mins 10 secs
Get ready to tackle important principles that show how Old Testament scriptures are interpreted in the New Testament. Build on last week's lesson to review two methods of interpretation and continue on to two more methods. Find out that the authors had a single intent when they wrote scriptures and how the Holy Spirit applied these in a fuller sense in the New Testament. Learn that there's no such thing as a partial fulfillment of the scriptures. See the difference between typology and application. As you drill down in these areas, allow this understanding to increase your confidence in the inspiration of scripture.
