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, August 12, 2025
by Robert Dean
Passage: 1 Peter 1:3-5 & Romans 13:11-12
Series: Interlocked (2023)
Duration: 1 hr 14 mins 59 secs

• Examples of “saved” meaning glorified • How can I be careful about reading the Bible, so I don’t confuse myself or misunderstand God’s Word? • What about works? • The judgment seat of Christ: Review • The judgment seat of Christ: Rewards • Jesus: The generous judge • Consequences of failure

The Bible emphasizes the necessity of our studying and applying the Word of God, but when we try to read it, sometimes we find it's not easy to understand. Listen to this lesson to learn a number of ways to read the Bible in meaningful ways. Hear vital questions to ask of the the passages we are reading. Attend church and hear messages from a pastor-teacher to help us to see how Scripture builds on Scripture. Learn about the Judgment Seat of Christ where each believer will be evaluated and be challenged to see your life as training for your roles and responsibilities in the Kingdom of God.
