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.
12 LORD [Y@hovah], thou wilt ordain [shaphath] peace [shalowm] for us: for
thou also hast wrought [pa`al] all our works [ma`aseh] in us. KJV-Interlinear
12 O LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have indeed done
for us all our works. ESV
The entirety of the spiritual life is courtesy of God. God the Father planned the divine plan. God the Son is the written word and therefore the content of the spiritual life. God the Holy Spirit is the mechanism of all spiritual function.
All peace, which is the one and only genuine peace in life, or in existence for that matter, comes as a result of the completed spiritual life.
Bible doctrine is the food and structure and means of growth and completion. The Holy Spirit communicates Bible doctrine, filters it through our human spirit and into our soul.
Bible doctrine is the building material for spiritual growth. Our application of Bible doctrine is the production of the spiritual life. All of the spiritual life operates from inside the fellowship sphere, which is obtained by each person through confession.
To ordain peace means to declare peace that is certain, when the spiritual rules are obeyed and followed.
Our works, refers to spiritual work, which is the spiritual functions that exist while inside of fellowship.
All spiritual work is courtesy of God, in all three members of the Trinity, with respect to the spiritual life that we have.
We cannot earn spiritual brownie points through our efforts. We do not deserve spiritual credit through our efforts. We can only comply, listen, learn, use and therefore grow up. And God does all of the work, never us.
