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.

How significant was the resurrection in the gospel presentation of the disciples? How did they use the resurrection within the gospel presentation? Did they appeal to the resurrection as an independent event as if that fact alone proved the message of the gospel, or did they first set a biblical message context? How we use Christian evidences is important. It is not the use of Christian evidences that is at question, but the way or the method of using evidences. Remember, a right thing done in a wrong way is wrong, and at different levels we can compromise part of the message if we present the gospel as if there are absolutes of reason, logic, history, or righteousness that somehow operate independently of God.
