Bible study Daily, explanation and encouragement - Galatians
Not only does God respond to the voice of faith, but angels are also driven by His words. An angel said to Daniel: "for from the first day that you set your mind to understand... your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words"
(Daniel 10:12).
Daniel's words brought the answer from Heaven, and the angel went to exactly the right address!
IF THERE IS A MOUNTAIN IN YOUR ROAD, USE THE WORD TO MOVE IT!
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood forth (Ps 33.9).
Jesus described God's type of faith in Mark 11:23 Jesus said ... WHOEVER SAYS ... ”By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear (Heb 11.3).
The worlds were created by the word of God. Abraham had to capture the spirit of faith before the miracle can be accomplished for me. God calls into existence the things that do not exist! (Rom 4:17)
FAITH ALWAYS COMES WITH A SOUND, A VOICE IS A WORD!
- The Holy Spirit is the key to living on God's grace. Only the Holy Spirit dwelling in us can fulfill the law through us as the life of Christ.
- Understand that you have received the promise of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38,39) in the same way that you receive salvation through Christ.
- Live under the control of the Holy Spirit. Obey every command of the Holy Spirit. Know that this will defeat any carnal inclinations you may have.
- Believe that this will result in the life of Jesus reproduced in you!
…walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh… Galatians 5:16,26
Those who are led by the Holy Spirit will freely do what is right, for they are not under the captivity and condemnation of the law.
- One of the tasks of the Holy Spirit is to create in the children of God the conviction of sonship and of filial love that leads them to KNOW God as Father.
- The term "Aba" is Aramaic and means "Father". It was the word Jesus used when referring to the Heavenly Father. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" Romans 8:15
- The Holy Spirit gives us subjective assurance that we are God's children! Romans 8:16
- Good Morning! You are a child of God! If you believe, you have the seal of the Holy Spirit!
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Gal. 5:16-21).
- In the preceding days we were already discussing the conditions for being taken. Here is a test whether you live in the world or not?
Many say, but I live good, is that so, do you comply with ALL 10 commandments? Do you love God ABOVE ALL? The Bible study Galatians 5 (www.biblestudy.gratis) clearly explains what each of the above words means. - Idolatry is, among other things, that you spend more time on social media such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and hotmail, than your time reading the Bible and in prayer for government leaders, teachers at schools and professores at universities, church leaders, unbelievers, etc.
- Here is the serious warning that those who practice such things will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God (= access to Heaven?).
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-24).
- As a Christian, let us daily show these fruits in our lives to the unbeliever through the power of the Holy Spirit.
- When we fail and stumble upon one of these, we may confess it. Without confession we give an opening to satan. With trial and error, more and more of these fruits will become visible in our daily lives.
- It is a matter of longevity, but NECESSARY, because without these expressions the person is incapable of reigning with Jesus Christ in His 1000-year Kingdom.
- Earthly life is a training school who is willing to live to the glory of God the Father.
- It also brings joy to yourself when you experience these fruits in your daily life.
- The purpose of our Christian life on earth is to be a representative of God and to show that you belong to God.
GUIDELINES FOR GROWING IN LOVE AND COMPASSION
Piety (devotion) results from Jesus Christ living in you through the Holy Spirit.
God calls us to love others and to serve others as Jesus did, through the power of the same Holy Spirit and with the same graceful freedom.
For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith (Gal. 3:26,29)
Let Christ live freely through you!
Worry about the word of God becoming incarnate in you.
Consider yourself to be under construction, in travail until Christ be formed in you (Gal. 4:19).
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of worldly slavery (Gal. 5:1-3).
Feed the grace of God
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EARN WHAT CAN ONLY BE RECEIVED AS A GIFT (Gal 5:4-6)
Love others freely as a gesture of obedient faith.
Remember that the law of sowing and reaping applies to everyone. Always sow what you want to reap.
God guarantees that the harvest will come!
