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 5:26 http://www.dailybiblestudy.org
26 Let us [ginomai] not [me] be [ginomai] desirous of vain glory [kenodoxos], provoking [prokaleomai] one another [allelon], envying [phthoneo] one another [allelon]. KJV-Interlinear
26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. NASB
One of the biggest failures in human personality is the tendency to become petty, making mountains out of molehills, making huge issues over little nothings. Unreasonable expectations, inordinate ambitions, inordinate competitions lead to gossip and maligning and all manner of social disorder. Empty glory or vanity, provoking or challenging or bullying, envy or jealousy, all of these arise out of a weak huge foundation of a dysfunctional life. And when society is filled with this type of behavior, then younger generations become more and more violent, while older generations with their pettiness can’t figure it out. With everyone stuck deep in their opinions, truth is squeezed out and something like insanity becomes the norm, and stupid becomes reasonable, and reason becomes unreasonable. Here, the Galatians were arguing over circumcision, of all things. A nothing topic that should be obvious to all that it does not apply to all. Something that applies to only one segment of a population, and in this case men only, cannot possibly be a prerequisite for something like salvation, which does affect all people, male and female. Any measure of human works or human good, cannot possibly be applied fairly and evenly across all peoples, because people have sin natures and people will inevitably fail at everything sooner or later. Thus, the Law which Moses put into writing, is not the textbook of human life or human behavior, but written proof that people cannot live up to the standards of the Law, and thus need a higher law, namely Christ, who can obtain perfection in our behalf, because we cannot. Therefore, faith is the only thing that apples fairly to all, requiring no human effort, and establishing no human credit for something that they did not and cannot do. The only way to avoid this petty behavioral trap is to obey Gods mandates. Believe in Christ first, in order to be saved, and then after salvation, then live your life, for the rest of your life, in fellowship by means of confession of your sins, and function within your life by means of doctrine which you must learn through a daily bible study.
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. |
