Signs of the times be not deceived God is not mocked Galatians 6:7 part three Q and A
Q: What's Paul referring to in Galatians 5:4 about believers in Christ?
A: But let each one exam his own work and then he will have rejoicing in
himself alone and not in another.
Q: According to Galatians 5:5, can another person bare our loads for us?
A: For each one shall bare his own load.
Q: What does Paul instructs us to do in Galatians 5:6?
A: Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who
teaches.
Q: What are the penalties for deceived believers in Galatians 5:6-7?
A: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sows
that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh
reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit reaps everlasting life.
Q: How does Paul teach us to overcome the flesh in Galatians 6:8-10?
A: And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall
reap if we don't lose heart (don't give up). Therefore as we have opportunity,
let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Q: According to Ephesians 5:4-9 how does God show His mercy towards us?
A: But God, who is rich in mercy because of his great love which He loved us,
even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ
(by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus, then in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches
of His grace in His Kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have
been saved through faith, and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of
works least any man should boast.
Q: According to Paul, in verse 6, did he believe we were already seated, in
heavenly places, (in the kingdom of heaven while still on this earth?)
A: Yes, Biblical scholars, believe that Paul did. It was only through His Holy Spirit.
He not only revealed it to Paul but also to His church.
Q: Did Paul believe in a works only based salvation?
A: No, he did not, if it were true: believers would be boasting that our good works,
were quit sufficient enough, to gain us access into the kingdom of heaven. But
we're saved by God's grace and by God's grace alone.
Q: Will only the redeemed in Christ Jesus gains access into His kingdom of heaven?
A: The kingdom of heaven is for born again believers in Christ Jesus only;
Trusting in your good works will not get you into His kingdom.
