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.

Are unbelievers unable to respond to the gospel unless they have been chosen to become believers as taught by Calvinism? Listen to this lesson to learn that while Scripture teaches that humans, in and of themselves, cannot save themselves, we have the ability to respond positively to the gospel message with the help of the ministry of God the Holy Spirit. See that Satan is always trying to erase the gospel message from our memories.
