Unit 6 the Three Stages of the Christian Life - Part 2 [27:49m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (66)This is a fundamental study to understand and help us live the Christian life through the power and strength of Jesus Christ, proving a road map of the details in scipture. From the basis of the Apostle John providing one description of the three stages, another eight sets of these three stages can be found in the N.T., reflecting all the main doctrines of our life in Christ. The study provides charts of these which are best downloaded and printed off before listening to the study itself. For this study it is virtually essential to download the full text (look for PDF file for Unit 6) because there are diagrams available in the PDF document that will make your listening and understanding far easier.

This next unit examines the nature of man in relation to God. There may be some surprises here for people who have not heard these things before. At first, it may appear to be quite impossible and even controversial, but please read and or listen and check out the references, so you know for yourself. Many have taught it before me and the Lord has shown me its truth. It is a vital component of seeing how our exact nature depends on our relationship with God, either as believers, or in our former unbelieving state.

So far in this serious of studies, we have looked at how the mystery in the N.T. that Paul highlights is (after regeneration) the starting point for the believer’s walk with the Spirit of God in faith. There was and is the need to understand this mystery and why Paul was intent on preaching it, but also to see how living out of this mystery is the way in which we can have fullness of life in Christ.

This unit of study picks up on that same theme with an example of Paul’s teaching which explicitly deals with the life of Christ within and how he used to labour in prayer for others until this life of Jesus was formed in them, as it was in Him. The particular verse is in Galations 4:19 which says. “My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, - how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!” Continue reading ‘Unit 4 Until Christ is formed in you Part 1’ »

This is an introductory look at maturing and enhancing our walk with God and live out from the full teachings of the N.T. It is both an extension on previous studies and an introduction to several further aspects of study. The first of those outlined and explained the nature of The Mystery of the N.T that was revealed to Paul by the Holy Spirit, the exact nature of this mystery, never before having been known by any man, including all the prophets of the O.T.

The study will also introduce the idea that adversity, sufferings, trials and persecutions are a normal part of the Christian life that is surrendered to God and are a part of God’s process in bringing believers into fullness of life.

This study is going to provide some of the teaching that Jesus himself gave on this matter, recorded in John 17 when Jesus prayed His High Priestly prayer, not that long before His crucifixion. The study will also provide mentions of other scriptures from Paul’s writings that affirm and confirm this fact that Jesus taught, that He Jesus is in the Father, that the Father is in Him, that Jesus lives in us and that in prospect of His prayer for the disciples, that they might live as one, just as the Father and Jesus were one.
