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.




Colossians 1:21

 

 

21 And [kai] you, [humas] that were [on] sometime [pote] alienated [apallotrioo] and [kai] enemies [echthros] in your mind [dianoia] by [en] wicked [poneros] works, [ergon] yet [de] now [nuni] hath he reconciled [apokatallasso] KJV-Interlinear

 

 

21 And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, NASB

 

 

This principle of, lost to God, applies to everyone who has ever been born alive into this world.

 

Eph. 4:18

18 being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; NASB

 

The content of your mind determines the nature of your life. Darkness means lack of light. Light is used as the content of the scriptures.Therefore, lack of light means simply the lack of doctrine in your soul.

 

Lacking Bible doctrine, means that your thinking processes will be abused by the sin nature within you and that abuse leads to sin and everything that is anti-God.

 

No matter how smart you think you are, no matter how smart you actually are, if you lack Bible doctrine in your soul, then your intellect will lead you into only one direction, and that direction is evil.

 

Why do people who are wealthy, successful, intelligent, talented, and so forth, seem to support things that are anti-God, or anti-biblical principles? Because they lack truth within their soul.

 

Truth is light and light allows you to see the difference between truth and the lies of the world.In total darkness you cannot see the difference, because you can t see. And seeing means the ability to discern, or tell the difference between one thing and another.

 

Without doctrine, functioning doctrine, within your soul, then you are by default automatically in opposition to God.

 

Without the work of Christ on the Cross, you would have no access to Bible doctrine, and therefore no access to light.Without a saved soul, without a regenerated human spirit within you, then you would have no means of metabolizing Bible doctrine into your soul.

 

The unbeliever is totally lost.The unbeliever has to be saved, before Bible doctrine can begin to function within him. Before salvation there is only one question that is important to the unbeliever, What do you think of Christ?

 

To reject Christ means eternal separation from God and eternal darkness. Darkness in this life means functioning without truth.Darkness in eternity means far worse.

 

However, when a person believes in Christ, then the second question that applies to their life, is a daily question, What do you think about Bible doctrine? Without Bible doctrine there is none or very little spiritual growth and an incomplete life, however, with Bible doctrine, there is advancement to the ultimate completion of ones life.

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.
