You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. Galatians 4:20 http://www.dailybiblestudy.org
20 [de] I desire [thelo] to be present [pareimi] with [pros] you [humas] now [arti], and [kai] to change [allasso] my [mou] voice [phone]; for [hoti] I stand in doubt [aporeo] of [en] you [humin]. KJV-Interlinear
20 but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. NASB
Given the nature of what has been revealed about the Galatians to Paul, with respect to their changing from true biblical principles, to the false principles that have been taught regarding the works of the law, then Paul indicates here his doubt as to the genuineness of their adhering to true biblical principles. In this transitional verse, Paul indicates that he would like to be with the Galatians so he could continue their instruction. But as with everyone, the students have to be able to grow up and maintain and sustain their own growth without the presence of their instructor. Bible students still need instruction all of their lives, but they don’t need the face-to-face presence of an instructor. That is something that the child needs. The child needs face-to-face and one-on-one assistance from his parents. Eventually the child grows up, and with some semblance of parental success, the child reaches the age of adulthood and should be able to leave the home and survive in life on his own two feet. The very fact that the Galatians fell away from truth so easily, and adopted false teaching, demonstrates their weakness in faith, and their weakness in their spiritual growth. The child takes eighteen or twenty or more years to grow up, and even then may need more time to be able to survive out of the world on his own. And so it is with the spiritual life. Because most people are fickle and inconsistent with regard to their daily study and spiritual status, then most people need spiritual instruction for decades, just to keep them on track. And so it is better to remain under instruction throughout ones entire life, than to risk getting away from instruction, and falling flat on your face.
Now is the time to post a prayer. End Of Lesson Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth. |
