The Spiritual Life Lesson 13 - Angels, Satan, and Demons 1:01:47

4d ago1:01:47

1:01:47

The Bible addresses the reality of angels, Satan, and demons. All angels were created holy, but because they have volition, some rebelled against God and defied His will. Holy angels are spirit beings created by God to serve Him and minister to believers (Matt 16:27; 26:53; 1 Tim 5:21; Heb 1:14). They are sometimes depicted as messengers carrying o…

The Spiritual Life Lesson 12 - Feeding on God's Word Part 4 1:03:47

11d ago1:03:47

1:03:47

Because of sin and death, everyone is separated from God and powerless to save themselves (Rom 3:10, 23). We are sinners in Adam (Rom 5:12; 1 Cor 15:21-22), sinners by nature (Rom 7:14-25; 13:12-14), and sinners by choice (Isa 59:2; Jam 1:14-15). Furthermore, we are helpless to solve the sin problem and save ourselves (Rom 5:6-10; Eph 2:1-3). Good …

18d ago1:13:58

1:13:58

The Bible reveals God as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, that “God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen 1:1), that He “made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth” (Acts 17:24), for “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things wh…

God the Son Came Down 1:08:04

24d ago1:08:04

1:08:04

Sometime in eternity past, God the Father sent God the Son into the world to fulfill a divine mission. God’s Word tells us, “The Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world” (1 John 4:14). This was the great mission: to bring salvation to everyone. This act of God was done in love, as it is written, “For God so loved the world, that He gave H…

The Spiritual Life Lesson 10 - Feeding on God's Word Part 2 1:15:36

25d ago1:15:36

1:15:36

As Christians, our spiritual growth happens as we feed on God’s Word and benefit from its nourishment. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matt 4:4; cf. Deut 8:3). Job said, “I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12b). Jeremiah said, “Your w…

The Spiritual Life Lesson 9 - Feeding on God's Word Part 1 1:09:46

3M ago1:09:46

1:09:46

At the moment of faith in Christ, believers know very little about God, His will, or the many blessings He has provided. Spiritually, they are ignorant babies. This is not a negative, but the reality of the situation. Prior to salvation, the soul is filled with human viewpoint, which is often contrary to God and His Word. This is why Christians are…

The Spiritual Life Lesson 8 - Dedication to God Part 4 1:04:45

3M ago1:04:45

1:04:45

A New Testament person who exemplifies living in submission to God is the Apostle Paul. Despite his weaknesses and failures, Paul’s life demonstrates steady submission to God’s will. His transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a devoted apostle of Christ illustrates this submission. Unlike most Christians, Paul surrendered to the Lord ver…

The Spiritual Life Lesson 7 - Dedication to God Part 3 1:01:27

3M ago1:01:27

1:01:27

For Christians, there is blessing through submission to God. This blessing comes from operating within the sphere of God’s love and laws, which establish boundaries for us to thrive and survive.[1] This is because “a man’s way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps” (Jer 10:23); rather, “The steps of a man are establish…

The Spiritual Life Lesson 6 - Dedication to God Part 2 1:22:06

3M ago1:22:06

1:22:06

Scripture tells us, as Christians, to “Submit to God” (Jam 4:7), and “present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God” (Rom 6:13), and “to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship” (Rom 12:1).[1] These directives are…

1:05:43

For Christians, dedication to God is the starting point for the spiritual life and the advance to Christian maturity. Dedication is a synonym for commitment, devotion, loyalty, and positive volition. According to Charles Ryrie, “There is perhaps no more important matter in relation to the spiritual life than dedication.”[1] In another place he stat…

The Spiritual Life Lesson 4 - The Disciplined Life 1:00:49

4M ago1:00:49

1:00:49

I define spirituality as: The life the Christian experiences when properly living in dependence upon the Holy Spirit and walking according to Scripture. Spirituality assumes regeneration, as one cannot be spiritual without being born again to new life through God the Holy Spirit (John 3:3; 1 Pet 1:3, 23). This new spiritual birth—or regeneration—oc…

The word pneumatikos (πνευματικός) is used by NT writers to refer to divine revelation (Rom 7:14; 1 Cor 2:13-14; Col 1:9), demonic forces (Eph 6:12), blessings from God (Eph 1:3), a mental attitude of joy and worship (Eph 5:18-20; Col 3:16), our future glorified body (1 Cor 15:42-44), the church as a spiritual house (1 Pet 2:4-5), supernatural gift…

4M ago1:03:08

1:03:08

The Christian’s salvation is seen in three phases. Because we have trusted Christ as our Savior, we have been saved from the penalty of sin (John 5:24; Rom 8:1, 33-34; Eph 2:8-9), are being saved from the power of sin that we might live righteously (Rom 6:11-13; Col 3:5), and will be saved from the presence of sin when we leave this world and enter…

Soteriology Lesson 54 - Faith Without Works is Dead Part 2 1:01:28

5M ago1:01:28

1:01:28

Exposition of James 2:14-26 (Full Notes Here) James wrote, “What use is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him?” (Jam 2:14). The question demands a negative answer. No. An inactive and useless faith cannot save the Christian. Here, salvation is deliverance from divine discipline (Heb …

Soteriology Lesson 53 - Faith Without Works is Dead Part 1 58:27

5M ago58:27

58:27

Introduction (Full Notes Here) The debate over James 2:14-26 revolves around how to reconcile faith and works in the context of salvation.[1] Catholics and Arminians traditionally see faith and works as both essential for eternal salvation. Reformed theologians see James as setting forth a litmus test for authentic faith, contending that true savin…

Soteriology Lesson 52 - The Free Gift of God is Eternal Life 1:07:08

5M ago1:07:08

1:07:08

The gospel is the good news that addresses the bad news of human sinfulness and separation from a holy God. Despite our helplessness and deserving of eternal punishment, God’s solution is the gospel of grace, which reveals Jesus Christ took our sins upon Himself, died, was buried, and resurrected on the third day (1 Cor 15:3-4). At the cross, God j…

1:10:36

God’s Sovereignty and Human Volition at the Cross One can see God’s sovereignty and human volition working simultaneously at the crucifixion of Jesus. In the sovereignty and wisdom of God, without overruling human volition, the Lord accomplished His will by means of the wills of wicked men who sought to oppose Him. Luke tells us, “this Man, deliver…

Soteriology Lesson 50 - Divine Election Part 2 1:09:42

1:09:42

Election Election derives from the Greek verb eklegō (ἐκλέγω) which, according to BDAG, means “to make a choice in accordance with significant preference, select someone or something for oneself.”[1] According to Norman Geisler, “The word election (or elect) occurs fourteen times in the New Testament. An elect person is a chosen one; election (or e…

Soteriology Lesson 48 - What Must I Believe to Be Saved - Part 4 1:33:11

6M ago1:33:11

1:33:11

For those living in the church age, the content of faith is the good news that Jesus—the Messiah—died for our sins, was buried, and resurrected on the third day (1 Cor 15:3-4). When people accept this as historically true, and then place their faith in Jesus, they experience salvation. According to Fruchtenbaum, “we must believe that Yeshua died fo…

6M ago1:03:16

1:03:16

During the time of Jesus’ life and ministry—but prior to His death on the cross—people were directed to believe the gospel of the kingdom (Matt 3:1-2; 4:17; Mark 1:14-15). The gospel of the kingdom directed Israelites to look to Jesus as the promised Messiah. This meant looking to Jesus as the “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” …

1:04:26

The Content of Saving Faith Eternal salvation has always been by grace alone through faith alone; however, the content of faith (i.e., what is believed), has changed throughout the ages. According to Arnold Fruchtenbaum, “Indeed, there always was, always is, and always will be only one means of salvation: by grace through faith.”[1] Though grace an…

Soteriology Lesson 45 - What Must I Believe to Be Saved? 1:27:49

7M ago1:27:49

1:27:49

The Terms of Salvation God requires that certain information be received and believed before He saves someone. This means saving faith requires content. From the divine side, God has done several things to bring about our salvation. From eternity past it was planned by God the Father (Eph 1:4; 2 Tim 1:9; 1 John 4:9-10, 14), executed in time by God …

Soteriology Lesson 44 - Unlimited Atonement 1:27:32

7M ago1:27:32

1:27:32

Unlimited atonement is the view from Scripture that Jesus died for everyone, and even though His death is sufficient to save everyone, the benefits of the cross are applied only to those who believe in Him as Savior. In contrast to this is the teaching of limited atonement, that Christ died only for those whom God has elected to salvation. Though t…

When a Christian Turns to a Sinful Lifestyle 1:18:04

7M ago1:18:04

1:18:04

As a Christian, it is possible to have correct thinking (orthodoxy) and not live by it. James wrote, “To one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin” (Jam 4:17). There are times when believers know God’s Word, but because of negative volition, do not apply it. Solomon, a true believer, is a good example of this. God cal…

Soteriology Lesson 43 - Total Depravity 1:10:35

7M ago1:10:35

1:10:35

Total depravity is the biblical doctrine that sin permeates all aspects of our being—mind, will, and sensibilities, and renders us helpless to save ourselves. It does not mean we are as bad as we can be, for there are many moral unbelievers in the world. Being contaminated by sin means whatever morality we produce can never measure up to the perfec…

Soteriology Lesson42 - The Meaning of Sin 1:01:50

8M ago1:01:50

1:01:50

Our salvation is necessary because of the problem of sin. The word sin is found throughout Scripture, and both the Hebrew and Greek share the same basic meaning. The Hebrew word chata (חָטָא) means “to miss the target, or to lose the way,”[1] and the Greek word hamartanō (ἁμαρτάνω) is defined as “miss the mark, err, or do wrong.”[2] In Judges 20:16…

Soteriology Lesson 41 - Biblical Meaning of Repentance 1:19:40

8M ago1:19:40

1:19:40

In the OT, the word repent translates the Hebrew verb nacham (נָחַם) which commonly means “to comfort…to find consolation, regret…to be sorry, come to regret something…to console oneself.”[1] This speaks of one’s mental attitude, and was used of people (Gen 24:67; 27:42) and God (Gen 6:6; Deut 32:36). However, nacham also means to “change one’s min…

Soteriology Lesson 40 - Reconciliation with God & Redemption of Christ 1:14:37

8M ago1:14:37

1:14:37

Reconciliation Atonement for sins is the basis for reconciliation, because God has judged our sins in the Person of Christ who died on the cross in our place. The death of Christ has forever satisfied God’s righteous demands for our sin and it is on this basis that He can accept sinners before His throne of grace. Paul wrote, “For if while we were …
