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.

What made the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah ungodly? Listen to this lesson to learn about the people in these ancient cities and to see that ungodly refers to people who do not believe in God’s plan of salvation. Find out why Lot is called righteous and how it does not mean the kind of life he led. Learn what “strange flesh” is. As believers living in a pagan world, be careful to guard yourself from the Kosmic system of thought and actions.

How can we resist being influenced and seduced by the evil going on around us? Listen to this message to learn that Peter addressed this in his second epistle and assures us that we can depend on God to deliver those who have trusted in Him. Hear three illustrations, including the punishment and destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the role angels played in two of them. Recognize that whatever happens to test us, God has given us the tools we need to endure.
