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.

248 - The Problem of Rebellion [B]
Sunday, October 13, 2024
by Robert Dean
Passage: Ephesians 5:21
Series: Ephesians (2018)
Duration: 52 mins 56 secs
Why does the Bible spend so much time describing the sin of rebellion? Listen to this message to learn that rebellion is a part of our sin nature and was the sin of Satan. See that the Bible compares rebellion to the sin of witchcraft. Hear a number of biblical examples of rebellion beginning with Adam and Eve and including the rebellion of the Israelites. Find out that respect for authority is inherent in having a culture that works.

During this message Dr. Dean recommended "The The Culture of Narcissism: American Life in an Age of Diminishing Expectations" by Christopher Lasch.
