J Sunday school lesson RESOURCES FOR THE DISCIPLINED LIFE Knowing that the forces of evil are unrelenting in their opposition to those who are striving to do the will of the Lord, it is a great encouragement to every child of God to know that adequate resources are available to enable any believer to live a victorious and useful Christian life. The Holy Spirit ? Galatians 5 : 25-6 : 1 Paul informed the Galatian Christians, who had been born from and above and were indwelt by the Holy Spirit, that the Spirit of God was the source of the strength which they needed to overcome the lusts of the flesh, if they were willing to receive and to use that power. The flesh and the Spirit are so completely op posite that if a child of God is walking in the Spirit he will not be under the control of the flesh at the same time. A person who lives and walks in the Spirit is one who yields himself intelligently, willingly, and cheer fully to His control and direction. Paul urged his readers to refrain from glorifying in things that are empty, and from indulging in the sinful practices of provoking and evnying one another. In the first verse of chapter six, Paul set forth the duty of a Christian toward a child of God who has been guilty of a breach of conduct. When a believer in Christ yields to temptation, and is guilty of wrongdoing, a true Christian has a splendid opportunity to prove the genuineness of his spirituality by his attitude and his behaviour toward the fallen one. Instead of rejoicing over the fact that his brother has been guilty of a breach of conduct and has fallen into sin, or of displaying a spirit of arrogance toward him, it is the duty of the Christian to deal tactfully, carefully, sympathetically, meekly, prayerfully, and lovingly with him, both for the sake of the offender and lest he find himself in a similar position. A Christian should speak to the wrongdoer about his besetting sin, in love point out to him the error of his way, and emphasize the provision which God has made whereby forgiveness may be reached and his life may be transformed into a victorious one. If a believer suddenly or unintentionally falls into sin, regardless of the cause, he needs to be forgiven and restored to fellowship with his Lord and with his fellow Christians. The word "restore" is a surgical term, which means "to reset." The thought is that such a "dislocated" person is spiritually out-of-joint. The process of "resetting" or "restoring" is a delicate one. It requires such skill that only those who are spiritual should attempt the task. The Armour of God ? Ephesians 6 : 10-18 If Christians are to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil, it is imperative that they be equipped with the proper armour for protection from their numerous, cunning, and powerful foes. God has the exact armour which His children need. To refuse to wear it will spell defeat, and to use it will mean victory. 1. Part of this armour is defensive. A girdle was a strong belt holing the ordinary Oriental attire in place, preventing it from flapping about the feet. Thus a child of God should be encased in the truth and have his life regulated by it. The breastplate of steel was a most important part of a warrior's armour. Far more essential than the breastplate of steel is that of the righteousness of God. If a soldier is to endure the long matches over rough ground, he must be well shod. A believer's feet must be shod with the gospel of peace which Christ gave. When a knight entered a battle, he held in front of him a shield that protected his body from the fiery darts which were flying thick and fast, tf the Christian is to withstand the fiery darts of Satan, he must have as his shield a strong faith in God and His Word. The helmet is for the head, which is the seat of intelligence. The assurance of salvation is a wonderful protection for the mind. Both the salvation and the assurance of it comes from the Lord. 2. Part of the armour is offensive. The sword is a great weapon for conquering. The Word of God is to be used offensively in putting the enemy to flight. There is a grave danger that the Christian will be so occupied with the defensive armour that he will neglect the use of the valuable offensive weapon, the sword of the Spirit. Instead of merely talking about this sword, let us really wield it frequently and skillfully. Prayer is vital to right living and Christian service. The hosts of wickedness are delighted when they can keep Christians from using the spear of prayer. Being utterly dependent upon God for both guidance and strength, each of us needs to pray for himself. *** The Sunday School Lesson is sent in by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky. ?
