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.

Do what makes you happy. Is that the best way to live? Listen to this lesson to learn that our founding fathers emphasized that virtue, not pleasure, must be the highest value if our country is to prosper. Learn that marriage has always been under assault because it is an institution established by God to promote freedom and virtue and training for the next generation. Hear about eleven benefits of marriage the way it was planned by God. See that failure in marriage does not indict the institution of marriage. Learn about assaults on marriage recorded in the Bible, including the one in Sodom. Understand that not only sexual sins but all sins are an abomination to God and deal with those involved in them by giving them the gospel in a loving manner.
