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.

After we trust in Christ as our Savior can we just say no to sin? Listen to this lesson to learn that it is only when we walk by the Spirit that we can obey the command to abstain from sin. See the part our lust pattern plays in this. Find out that sin will always be a battle in our lives. Learn that confession of sin means that we once again can walk by the Spirit. See that Christ’s death freed us from the penalty of sin but it is only when we are walking by the Spirit that we are freed from sin’s power in our lives.

163 - What is the "Old Man"? [B]
Sunday, August 28, 2022
by Robert Dean
Passage: Ephesians 4:17-21 & Colossians 3
Series: Ephesians (2018)
Duration: 53 mins 31 secs
What are the phrases “old man” and “new man” referring to? And how are they put off and put on? Listen to this lesson to learn that these are not commands but rather, they occur instantly at the moment anyone trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. See that they refer to leaving our position in Adam and joining with others in the Church, or body of Christ. Rejoice that all believers are in Christ and as such, have the power to obey the many commands given to us that refer to our new spiritual life.
