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 you tempted just to stay quiet when those around you are expressing views that are opposed to God’s Word? Listen to this lesson to see what relativism is and how it is affecting us in our world today. Find out that was what was happening in Israel in the time of Samson’s judgeship. Hear how Samson’s life paralleled that of a compromised, carnal Christian and understand the need to saturate your thinking in the Word of God so you can oppose the evil around you.
