LW:We are constantly surrounded by worldly and ungodly people, but we are not to make them our bosom friends. We cannot be true to God if we court the friendship of ungodly people.

Study 2B THE HEAVENLY CITIZEN
(Scripture Portion: Psalm 15)

#THE HEAVENLY CITIZEN IS ONE WHO IS CAREFUL OF HIS FRIENDSHIPS
In the first part of verse 4 we have a negative and a positive description of the right kind of companions to have. We are constantly surrounded by worldly and ungodly people, but we are not to make them our bosom friends. We cannot be true to God if we court the friendship of ungodly people. “The friendship of the world is enmity with God” (James 4:4). We cannot serve two masters, God and mammon (Luke 16:13). How bad can be the influence of a bad friend; but how good can be the influence of a good friend! A great man was asked the reason for his success, and he replied, “Well –- I had a friend!” So, “make friends of God’s children!
#THE HEAVENLY CITIZEN IS ONE WHO IS CHARITABLE TOWARDS HIS NEIGHBOUR
#THE HEAVENLY CITIZEN IS ONE WHOSE WORD IS HIS BOND
#THE HEAVENLY CITIZEN IS ONE WHO IS MERCIFUL IN HIS DEALINGS
Verse 5 tells us this. God has no place for the Christian employer who is very generous with his gifts to the church but keeps his employees working long hours for starvation wages. God’s people should never make unjust gains, especially as such a course can only be taken at someone else’s expense. This is also why gambling is wrong; it is ethically, morally and spiritually wrong – and therefore wrong for the Christian.
Now notice the concluding words of the psalm – the last phrase in verse 5.
In New Testament language it is summed up in 1 John 2:17. Let us be quite clear, however, that seeking to live the “good life” outlined in this psalm does not make one a Christian. The psalm does not tell us the way to be saved, but rather the way saved people should live. Look up Romans 3:20; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5. Are we Citizens of Heaven? Are we Christians? If so, let us behave like Christians!God bless you.

THE WORKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MEMORY VERSE : But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8. BIBLE PASSAGE: John 16:7-14 INTRODUCATION : In the first part of this lesson, we discovered who the Holy Spirit is, and who active He has been before the creation of the world. We discovered the part He played in the creation of the heaven, and the earth, how He preserves and renews the earth and how He can destroy whenever the need arises. We discussed the part He played in bringing Jesus to the world and how He was involved in every aspect of Christ’s Ministry here on earth. We also mentioned how it was by the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus performed His miracles and that it was the power of the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. We ended the first part by saying tat the Holy Spirit is now actively interested in th

@Livingwater Study 2 My contribution to gospel (Scripture Portion: Philippians 1: 1-11) It is significant that the word ‘gospel’ occurs in this letter nine times: (1) It is a glorious word. It means “good news”, and in John 3:16 we have “the gospel in miniature”, and in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 we have the gospel defined. (2) It is a precious word. All who are truly saved love this grand old word. (3) It is also a much hated word. The Devil hates it like poison, and so do all who oppose the gospel. (4) It is a greatly misunderstood word. How many there are who are ignorant of the gospel and who confuse “religion” with the gospel! (5 ) It is a saving word. It is God’s dynamite to open the human heart (Acts 16:14); to overcome the powers of darkness (Acts 16:18), and to awaken, save and transform (Acts 16:26-34). (6) It is an identifying word. Anyone who is truly born again will speak of “the gospel” – not of religion, or even of Christianity. (7) It is a biblical word. Look up the foll

Sins against the Holy spirit (God's personality)

SINS AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT MEMORY VERSE : Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Matt. 12:31. BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 12:22-37 INTRODUCATION: The Holy Spirit is a person that can be sinned against. Let us beware lest we sin against Him either consciously or unconsciously because the HolySpirit is Fire (Heb. 12:29). And anyone who toys with fire is sure to get burnt. THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE BLASPHEMED AGAINST Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is one sin for which there is no forgiveness (Matt. 12:31-32). It is called the unpardonable sin, the most lawful sin that can be committed on earth. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is ascribing to Satan the work of the Holy Spirit. Beware of belittling the work of the Holy Spirit. This is a very serious matter! THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE INSULTED Now it is the Holy Spirit that presents the atoning work of Christ to the sinner
