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 6:13 http://www.dailybiblestudy.org
13 For [gar] neither [oude] they themselves [autos] who are circumcised [peritemno] keep [phulasso] the law [nomos]; but [alla] desire [thelo] to have [peritemno] you [humas] circumcised [peritemno], that [hina] they may glory [kauchaomai] in [en] your [humeteros] flesh [sarx]. KJV-Interlinear
13 For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh. NASB
Anyone who promotes false ideas, and then tries to get others to follow those false ideas, does so only to boost their own ego of accomplishment. It has nothing to do with the benefit or merit, or lack of it, for others, it is all in the selfish persuasion of the promoter. They do not even comply with their own beliefs. Our example here is circumcision, which is promoted falsely, as a means to obtain salvation. But circumcision is a part of the Law of Moses, sometimes called the Law of God. And if you are arguing that one aspect of the Law is required then you should be consistent and comply with the entire Law. But those who promote the Law do not even abide by the Law in its entirety. And they don’t because no one can. So their argument is not even possible. It is the same with works. When people try to invent their own way of salvation or their own way of spirituality, then they are relying on works, or the energy of their own effort. And this is of course a rejection of Gods spiritual design. More subtle than the circumcision argument, but false just the same. When you pursue spiritual principles and concepts by means of your own invention, then you are in fact rejecting Gods method of spirituality. This means that you are not impressed with Gods plan, because you have rejected Gods plan, but are impressed with your own plan under the presumption that your methods are better than Gods methods. Therefore, your boasting is in yourself, which is a lie, by the way. Because God is truth and rejection of Gods plan is in effect a rejection of truth, which leaves you with lies. So, knowing that the flesh is a temporary thing and that when it ends, it rots. Therefore, investing in the energy of the flesh, which means investing in your own effort, is in effect investing in a temporary and eventually in a rotting belief. Leaving you with what?
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. |
